International appearances
Wales has yet to appear in a major international basketball event. Currently, Wales is set in FIBA European Championship for Small Countries. The best result there so far has been 2nd place in both 1998 and 2002.
Wales co-hosted the 1978 Commonwealth Basketball Championships with England and Scotland. This was the first such Commonwealth Basketball competition. Wales were coached by former player Paul Kinninmont and Andy Henderson, whilst being managed by Ralph Wills. Despite losing several key players to injury and unavailability, Wales performed creditably both in the pool matches in Cardiff and in the finals at Coventry
