The Nauru national basketball team is the team that represents
Nauru in international
basketball. It is a member of
FIBA Oceania. The national team was inactive in international competitive basketball for several years after participating at the 2001
Oceania Basketball Tournament in
Fiji.[2][3] Nauru initially planned to send a squad to the
2005 South Pacific Mini Games but withdrew due to undisclosed reasons.[4]
Eventually, it returned for the
2015 Pacific Games.
Nauru had its best performance at the
1969 Pacific Games when it beat the
Solomon Islands, which have almost 60 times Nauru's population, and
Fiji, which has almost 100 times Nauru's population.
