The 2011 FIBA Americas Championship for Men, later known as the FIBA AmeriCup, was the qualifying tournament for
Host
FIBA Americas named Mar del Plata, Argentina the host of the 2011 competition on May 24, 2010 at a meeting in San Juan.[1] Games were played at Polideportivo Islas Malvinas, which seats more than 8,000 fans. Toronto and Rio de Janeiro also bid for the tournament before FIBA awarded the competition to then world number-one ranked Argentina. Toronto was eliminated in the first round of voting before Mar del Plata beat Rio de Janeiro in the final round 13 votes to 3. Toronto's bid was seen as superior to the other two,[by whom?] but due to the lack of government backing was not awarded the tournament.

Qualification
The ten teams originally selected to receive invitations for the tournament were the host team, the top three finishers at the 2010 South American Basketball Championship, the top two teams in the North America Sub-Zone, and the top four finishers at 2010 Centrobasket. Because the host country, Argentina, came in second at the 2010 South American Basketball Championship, the fourth place team (Venezuela) at the championship was also invited. After the United States (the only team other than Canada in the North America Sub-Zone) automatically qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics by winning the 2010 FIBA World Championship, they withdrew from the tournament. The fifth place team at the 2010 South American Basketball Championship (Paraguay) was then invited to participate.
Below is the final list of participants in the tournament:
- South American Sub-Zone (South American Basketball Championship 2010):
- North America Sub-Zone:
- Central American and Caribbean Zone (2010 Centrobasket):
NBA lockout
Due to the 2011 NBA lockout, insurance costs for players affiliated with teams of the National Basketball Association to play overseas would no longer be afforded by the league and would have to be taken care of by their corresponding national federations. Some national teams, such as the host nation Argentina[2] and Puerto Rico[3] took steps to resolve the issue. Below is a list of players whose participation in the tournament was at least potentially affected:
|
Notes:
- a Barbosa decided not to participate in the tournament.[4]
- b Nash has retired from international play.[5]
- c Thompson and Magloire were not called up for Canada's national team.[6]
- d Nenê decided not to participate in the tournament.
- e Varejão was unavailable for the tournament due to injury.
Format
The ten teams are split into two groups. The best four teams of each group advance to the second round, where the teams play against the four teams from the other group; each team carries over all points earned during the first round, except for those earned in the match against the team that was eliminated. The best four teams of this group advance to the semifinals.
The two winners in the semifinals automatically qualify for the Olympics. The remaining three teams from the second round plus seven teams from other continents play the 2012 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament, where the top three qualify for the Olympics.
