The Slovakia women's national basketball team (Slovak: Slovenské národné basketbalové družstvo žien) is the representative for Slovak Republic in international women's basketball competitions and it is organized and run by the Slovak Basketball Association. Slovakia are one of the newest national basketball teams in the world, having split from the Czechoslovakia women's national basketball team after the dissolution of the unified state in 1993, with the Slovakia women's national basketball team continuing as the successor state of the Czechoslovakia.

History[]

Before 1993, Slovak players represented Czechoslovakia. When Slovakia became independent, it became the successor state to the Czechoslovakia and, therefore, the results of previous state rightfully belong to it.[2]

In the 1990s, the Slovaks were the most successful women's basketball team in Europe, and thanks to that they became the most successful team sport in the country. This position was confirmed at the 1994 Women's Basketball World Cup, where they placed fifth; at the 1998 Women's Basketball World Cup, they were eighth.[3]

The team won a bronze medal during the 1993 European Championship[4] and a silver medal during the 1997 European Championship.[5]

The only Olympic start in the Sydney 2000 was marked by the resignation of the implementation team led by before the Olympics after disagreements with the leadership of the SBA.[6]

After 2001, there was a withdrawal from the positions, which culminated in non – participation in the EuroBasket Women 2005 and EuroBasket Women 2007. The biggest successes of the last period is 8th place from the European Championships 2009 and 2017.
