The 2022 FIBA Women's Polynesia Basketball Cup was an international basketball tournament contested by national teams of Polynesia sub-zone of FIBA Oceania. The tournament was hosted by Cook Islands, although the tournament was held in Kaitaia, New Zealand. Originally slated to be held from 6 to September 2021, the schedule was pushed further to April 2022 due to COVID-19 pandemic, with the final dates determined to be held on November 1-5. [1] [2] [3]
