# Basketball at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's 3x3 tournament

The 2024 Summer Olympics women's 3x3 basketball tournament in Paris, France, began on 30 July and ended on 5 August 2024. All games were played at the Place de la Concorde. It was the second time the 3x3 basketball women's event was held at the Olympic Games.
Germany defeated Spain in the final to win their first title. The United States took home bronze after defeating Canada.

## Competition format

The eight teams played a round robin. The first and second placed teams qualified for the semi-finals. The teams three to six competed in play-in games for the remaining two spots in the semi-finals. After that, a knockout system was used. Additionally, the games could be won in two ways: by being the first team to score 21 points or having the highest score through 10 minutes.

## Qualification

Eight teams will participate in the women's basketball tournament, with each NOC sending a roster of three players and a substitute. The qualification process consisted of four phases one based in the FIBA ranking list and three olympic qualifiers:

However, not more than two NOC's from a continent could qualify in this phase. Also a quota place was guaranteed to the host nation for only one of the 3x3 events which was given to the women's 3x3 tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
