Basketball in Argentina
Basketball was introduced in Argentina in 1912 by the "Asociación Cristiana de Jóvenes" (Young Men's Christians Association – YCMA), with the first Federation created in 1921 to organise the competitions. In 1929, the Argentine Basketball Federation ("Confederación Argentina de Basketball") was established. The body currently controls the Argentina national team.

The Campeonato Argentino de Básquet ("Argentine Basketball Championship" in English) is the oldest basketball competition still running in Argentina. The first edition of the tournament was held in 1928, having been played (with some interruptions) to present days. The Campeonato Argentino is played by teams representing Argentine's provincial sides.
