FIBA U19 Basketball World Cups have a unique custom made trophies. The concept is inspired by the idea of ‘Rising Stars’ and visually expresses the growth and ascension to greatness of the world’s best U19 players. Forged from Sterling Silver and Gold, the design has a carefully balanced blend of contemporary textures and a monochrome - black for men and white for women - gender differentiating element, to compliment the vapor blasted gold structure.
The Men's and Women's trophies can be told apart based on their colors and the shape of their respective bases.
Introduced in 2019, USA were the first to lay their hands on these unique trophies by winning the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup 2019 and FIBA U19 Women's Basketball World Cup 2019 title.
USA retained the men's trophy in 2021, yet this exceptional hardware piece found a new home in 2023 when Spain won the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup 2023 title.
However, the women's team have held on to this distinctive trophy by winning the FIBA U19 Women’s Basketball World Cup title three times in a row - in 2019, 2021, and 2023.
