The USA Women's U16 and U17 teams are two of the teams under the auspices of the USA Basketball organization. The team names refer to the age limits for the invited players. These events replace the USA Basketball Women's Youth Development Festival.

The usual sequence is for the U16 team to play in a regional championship in one year, with the top three qualifying teams being invited to a World Championship in the following year, as the U17 team.[1] The first FIBA Americas U16 Championship For Women was held in 2009.[2] The qualifying teams were invited to the 2010 FIBA U17 World Championship for Women held in France.[3] The events are on a two year cycle, with U16 events in 2009 and 2011, and the corresponding U17 events in 2010 and 2012.

The U16 team becomes the U17 team, with largely the same players and coaches, although invitations are not automatic and changes can occur.
