The Rwanda Basketball Cup is a basketball cup competition for men's teams in Rwanda. The competition is made up of teams from the Rwanda Basketball League as well as the Rwanda Basketball League Division 2. The tournament was introduced in 2024 by the FERWABA, and APR was the inaugural winner.[1]

The winners of the competition qualify for the East Africa Cup, a future FIBA-organised tournament.[2]

Format

The cup competition begins with a group stage with the lowest ranked teams from the Rwanda Basketball League and the Rwanda Basketball League Division 2. The winner of each group advances to the playoffs, which is played in single-elimination format. The semifinals and finals are held over one weekend, and a third place game is played as well.[2]
