This World Cup Basketball Tournament is the first one after the restructuring. The new system is modeled on the World Cup football system, expanding the entire season and event scale, and changing the qualifying rounds to six periods, with a total duration of one and a half years. Australia and New Zealand also merged with Asia to form the Asia-Pacific region. The total number of World Cup teams has expanded from 24 to 32 teams.
The top two teams in each group advance to the semi-finals and retain points, and then compete against the top two teams in another group.

The 2019 World Cup will be hosted by China, and teams will compete in eight cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing, Dongguan, Guangzhou, Foshan, and Shenzhen. With only three current members of the American team selected for the All-Star Game, the situation is even more unpredictable. It is worth noting that Japan, also from East Asia, has become an Asian power under the leadership of two current NBA players, Rui Hachimura and Yuta Watanabe, and they will also directly encounter the American team in the preliminaries.
The preliminaries for this World Cup will kick off on August 31. The following is the preliminary grouping and competition time of this competition.
