The Belgium women's national basketball team represents Belgium in international women's basketball competitions for women. Commonly referred to (in all languages) as the Belgian Cats, their first appearance in a major international tournament was in 1950, at the European Championship in Budapest. The team has participated in thirteen European Championship tournaments (including best finishes of 3rd place in 2017 and 2021) but had not been present at World Championships or the Olympic Games until they qualified for the 2018 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup (where they finished in 4th place),[2] and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The Belgian Cats, together with the men's national basketball team, are administered by the Belgian Basketball Federation.[3]
