# 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification (Americas)

The 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification for the FIBA Americas region, began in November 2017 and concluded in February 2019. The process determined the seven teams that would participate at the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

## Seeding

The top five teams from both 2016 Centrobasket and 2016 South American Basketball Championship plus the two teams from North America (Canada and USA) qualified directly for the 2019 FIBA World Cup qualification. Four additional teams were scheduled to participate at a pre-qualifier tournament in July 2017, but it was cancelled. Instead, the sixth- and seventh-placed teams at the Centrobasket and South American Championship were invited to the World Cup qualification.
