Australia and New Zealand Win FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2026

SINGAPORE – Australia (women) and New Zealand (men) completed dominant, unbeaten runs to be crowned champions at the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2026, capping a dramatic final day in Singapore to be crowned FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2026 winners.

Australia’s road to the women’s title was far from straightforward. They needed a dramatic comeback in the Semi-Finals, where Amy Atwell’s late heroics lifted them past China, 21-20, before taking full control in the Final over Philippines, 18-9, to extend their dynasty in the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup, claiming the tittle for the 6th time.

New Zealand, meanwhile, dethroned men’s defending champions Australia earlier in the day, with Te Tuhi Lewis catching fire from deep to lead a 21-16 Semi-Finals win. They maintained that momentum in the Final, controlling Republic of Korea with disciplined offense and timely shot-making before icing the game, 21-15.
Beyond the champions, the tournament marked historic breakthroughs.

The Philippines (women) reached their first-ever FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup Final. Led by Afril Bernardino and Kacey Dela Rosa, they showcased resilience and growth, ultimately securing a landmark silver medal — their first podium finish in the competition.

Republic of Korea (men) also made history, advancing to their first FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup Final despite battling adversity, including playing the Semi-Finals with a shortened rotation. Their run to silver signals a major step forward for the program.

China, meanwhile, capped a consistent campaign with bronze medals in both competitions.

About FIBA 3×3

Exciting, urban and innovative, 3×3 is inspired by several forms of streetball played worldwide and is considered the world’s number one urban team sport. Steered by FIBA, games see two teams of three players face off on a basketball half-court.

It was played successfully for the first time in international competition at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore and since then has benefited from the launch of a yearly professional circuit for men and women (World Tour and Women’s Series respectively) and national-team competitions. 3×3 made its Olympic debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games.
