The 2011 FIBA Under-19 World Championship for Women was hosted by Chile from July 21 to July 31, 2011. The draw for the Championship took place on March 18, 2011 in Puerto Montt. Teams played a round robin schedule, with the top four teams of the eighth-final four advancing to the knockout stage. Nigeria did not turn up for the tournament, so the championship just consisted of 15 teams.
