The Estonia women's national basketball team (Estonian : Eesti naiste korvpallimeeskond) represents Estonia in international women's basketball matches. They are controlled by the Estonian Basketball Association.
Women's basketball in Estonia began to develop in the early 20th century, with organized competitions being established during the interwar period. Following the country’s independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Estonia re-established its national basketball federation and entered international competition under the flag of the Estonian Basketball Association.
The Estonia women's national team made its debut in EuroBasket Women qualification during the 1990s. While the team did not advance to the main tournament, these early appearances marked the beginning of its modern international program. [2]
Through the 2000s and 2010s, Estonia continued to participate in EuroBasket Women qualification rounds, often competing against some of Europe’s most established national teams such as Spain, France, and Russia. Despite consistent efforts, the team has yet to qualify for the EuroBasket Women final tournament.
Regionally, Estonia has found greater success in the Baltic Cup and friendly tournaments, where it has faced neighboring teams from Latvia and Lithuania. These competitions have played a key role in developing local talent and providing international experience for younger players.
In the 2020s, the Estonian women’s team has continued to build around a new generation of players competing in the domestic Estonian Women's Basketball League and professional leagues abroad. While still seeking its first major tournament qualification, the program remains focused on long-term development and strengthening its position within European women’s basketball.
