At the 1946 South American Championship, they achieved their first title, beginning an era of success that extended into the 1960s.

These triumphs positioned the Chilean team as one of the strongest in FIBA Americas, competing on equal terms with powerhouses such as Brazil and Argentina.

In addition, they achieved several runner-up and third-place finishes, demonstrating their consistency at the high regional level.

Although they continued to participate in international competitions, the team was unable to maintain the same level of success that it had achieved in previous decades.
