EuroBasket 1946

The 1946 European Basketball Championship, commonly called Eurobasket 1946, was the fourth Eurobasket regional championship held by FIBA Europe and the first since 1939 due to World War II. Ten national teams affiliated with the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) took part in the competition. Switzerland hosted the tournament for a second time, as the championship returned to Geneva.

Eurobasket 1946 saw the beginning of the use of the jump shot, pioneered by Italy's Giuseppe Stefanini.
