The Nauru national basketball team is the team that represents Nauru in international basketball. It is a member of FIBA Oceania. The national team was inactive in international competitive basketball for several years after participating at the 2001 Oceania Basketball Tournament in Fiji.[1][2] Nauru initially planned to send a squad for the 2005 South Pacific Mini Games but withdrew due to undisclosed reasons.[3] Eventually, it returned for the 2015 Pacific Games.

Nauru had its best performance at the 1969 Pacific Games when it beat the Solomon Islands, which have almost 60 times of Nauru's population, and Fiji, which has almost 100 times of Nauru's population.
