The Centrobasket is a FIBA-sponsored international basketball tournament where national teams from Central America and the Caribbean participate.

These countries make up the Central American and Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CONCENCABA).

The top three or four Women's National teams typically earn berths to the FIBA Women's AmeriCup, from which they can qualify for the FIBA Basketball World Cup or Summer Olympics.

Teams qualify for these tournaments by finishing high (usually first or second place) in the previous Centrobasket or by placing high at the FIBA COCABA Championship for Mexico and the seven Central American countries and at the FIBA CBC Championship for the 23 Caribbean countries.

To date, Puerto Rico has earned large number of medals in every tournament that it has participated in.
