The Lebanon women's national basketball team represents Lebanon in international women's basketball tournaments and is governed by the Lebanese Basketball Federation.
The Lebanon women's national basketball team emerged on the regional scene in the late 20th century. They secured two third-place finishes at the Arab Women's Basketball Championship in 1983 and 1997. The team's success continued with a silver medal at the 2000 Arab Women's Basketball Championship. Building on this momentum, they achieved the championship title at the 2003 Arab Women's Basketball Championship. The following year, they claimed the gold medal at the 2004 Pan Arab Games. Further solidifying their regional presence, the team secured another gold medal at the 2011 Pan-Arab Games.
On the global stage, their achievements included a promotion to Division A of the FIBA Women's Asia Cup after finishing as runners-up in Division B at the 2009 FIBA Asia Championship for Women. In the Division A of the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship for Women, they displayed strong performance, finishing in 5th place. However, internal disputes within the national federation led to a four-year FIBA suspension in 2013. This suspension prevented their participation in the Division A of the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship for Women, resulting in their return to Division B after the ban was lifted in 2014.
After a prolonged period, the team regained their place in Division A by winning the 2021 FIBA Women's Asia Cup Division B. Carrying the momentum forward, they secured their Division A status in the 2023 FIBA Women's Asia Cup by defeating Chinese Taipei with a final score of 75âÂÂ73, ensuring their participation in the top tier for the upcoming 2025 FIBA Women's Asia Cup. Their 7th place finish in the 2023 FIBA Women's Asia Cup secured Lebanon's participation in the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2026 Pre-Qualifying Tournament. Lebanon did not advance in the Pre-Qualification after losing all three of their group phase games.
The team's final opportunity for qualification came at the 2025 FIBA Women's Asia Cup, which served as the primary qualifier for the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, awarding a direct berth to its champion and spots in the World Cup Qualifying Tournaments to the teams finishing in second to sixth place. However, while Lebanon's 7th-place finish ended their campaign for the 2026 World Cup, it ensured they would remain in Division A for the 2027 FIBA Women's Asia Cup.
