The TBF International Under-16 Tournament, or TBF Under-16 Basketball World Cup, was an international boys' youth age basketball tournament that was contested between the best Under-16 age national teams in the world. The tournament took place every year in Turkey, and was organized by the Turkish Basketball Federation (TBF). Since FIBA does not currently organize an under-16 age boys' world championship, this tournament served as the de facto boys' official Under-16 World Cup. It was considered by followers of European basketball to be one of the most prestigious international tournaments in the boys' youth categories.

History

The first TBF International Under-16 Tournament took place in Sakarya, Turkey, in 1994. In the first tournament, which was won by Italy, it was an Under-18 competition. Since then until its discontinuation in 2020, the tournament was an Under-16 competition. The list of some of the players that have played at the tournament, and have then gone on to have successful pro careers, includes players like: Hedo Türkoğlu, Kerem Tunçeri, Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Ömer Aşık, Ersan İlyasova, and Peja Stojaković.
