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 current format of FIBA World Championship involves 24 teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation. The winning team receives the Naismith Trophy. The current champions are the United States, who defeated Turkey in the final of the FIBA World Championship 2010.
