Basketball at the Friendship Games

Basketball at the Friendship Games was contested between 22 and 30 August 1984. Two events (one men's, with eleven teams and one women's, with eight teams) took place at two venues in Moscow, Soviet Union – the CSKA Sports Palace and the Dynamo Sports Palace.

Men's event
Eleven teams were drawn into two groups.

Classification 9th–12th
Because of the odd number of teams, 5th team of Group A (i. e. Finland) was seeded in the ninth place match without playing any second round match.

Women's event
Eight teams competed in a round-robin tournament.
