A parallel event for women's teams, the [[FIBA World Championship for Women]], is also held quadrennially, in the same year as the men's event but in a different country. The champion team wins the Naismith Trophy, which was first awarded in the [[1967 FIBA World Championship|1967 tournament]]. The tournament structure is similar but not identical to that of the [[FIFA World Cup]]; both of these international competitions have been played in the same year since 1970. ==Tournament format== {|class=wikitable style="font-size:95%;" |- !Year !!Host !!Teams !!Preliminary round !!Latter stages !!
