The Basketball Tournament at the 1995 Pan American Games was held in Mar del Plata, Argentina from March 19 to March 25, 1995. [1] The women's tournament was cancelled because as of March 3, 1995, only four women's teams had subscribed. [2] As a result, an extra event was held in Canada between June 22 and 29 of that same year, the 1995 FIBA Americas Championship for Women, which served as the women's basketball tournament for this edition. [3]

All the games were held in Polideportivo Islas Malvinas, which was built for this edition of the Pan American Games. Argentina won their first Pan American Games after beating United States in the final. Argentina, coached by Guillermo Vecchio, finished the tournament unbeaten. [4] [5]
