Basketball was one of the 26 sports included in the 2019 Pacific Games which were held in Apia, Samoa.

The 8 teams were split into two pools of four where round-robin matches were played, with the top two from each pool advancing to the semi-finals or the medal play-offs.

For the first time, teams had to qualify for the event to participate in the basketball competition for both men and women through sub-zone qualification tournaments in Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.
