[edit]

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter a maximum of 2 teams, 1 team of 4 athletes per each gender. As hosts, China was given 2 teams, 1 per each gender. 6 teams, 3 per each gender qualified at the 2013 U18 3x3 World Championships and another 6 teams, 3 per each gender qualified from the 2013 3x3 World Tour Final. The remaining 13 teams per gender qualified based on the FIBA 3x3 National Federation Ranking based on the update from 1 June 2014. All continents must have at least one team present in each gender and no more than 10 from the same continent can participate. A minimum of 30 NOCs must participate across all events.[1]
