Barbados and Antigua and Barbuda were the two countries qualified based on their high rankings. The automatic qualification came after a host country could not be found.[3]

Pre-qualifiers

The eight participating teams were divided into two groups: Group A in Chile and Group B in Nicaragua. Each team will play against the rest of the teams in its group (total of three games per team). The best two teams in each of the groups will automatically qualify for the FIBA AmeriCup 2025 Qualifiers, beginning in February 2024.
