The Armenia men's national basketball team (Armenian: Հայաստանի բասկետբոլի ազգային հավաքական, Hayastani basketboli azgayin havak'akan) represents Armenia in international basketball. The team is controlled by the Basketball Federation of Armenia.
After Armenia's triumph at their maiden competition, they entered European Pre-Qualifiers for the 2019 FIBA World Cup. Their first two matches during World Cup pre-qualifying were home victories in Yerevan against Slovakia and Sweden.[3] However, Armenia would only win one out of their next four matches, to finish the pre-qualifiers at a record of (3–3); failing to advance.[4] Following Armenia's ouster from World Cup qualifying, the team participated in the second round of EuroBasket 2022 Pre-Qualifiers. Armenia would eventually finish the round with a (2–2) record, before having to withdraw from qualifying due to financial constraints.[5][6]
In 2022, Armenia made its return to international play by entering the 2022 FIBA European Championship for Small Countries. The national team would make it all the way to the final to beat Malta 84–68, and finishing the tournament undefeated.[7]
