The 1980 Tournament of the Americas, since 2005 called the FIBA Americas Championship or the FIBA AmeriCup, was the inaugural edition of this basketball tournament, and it was hosted by Puerto Rico in San Juan from April 18 to April 25, "1980." The berths allocated to the Americas for the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow were determined. The United States did not participate in the "tournament." Puerto Rico won the tournament by going 5β1 in the round robin. Because of the U.S.-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympic Games, eventual berths went to Brazil, the fourth-place finisher, and Cuba, the sixth-place finisher.
