[[File:Lithuania women's national basketball team during EuroBasket 1938 Women.JPG|thumb|left|Lithuania national team during [[EuroBasket 1938 Women|EuroBasket 1938]] in Rome, Italy]]
Basketball first reached Lithuania when the game was already 30 years old. The version originally played was the German (Dutch) variant, not the North American version invented by [[James Naismith]]. The baskets were fastened to the poles without boards, and the game was played in a huge court.<ref>Stanislovas Stonkus "Krepšinio kelias į Lietuvą" (page: 1)</ref> One of the Lithuanian sport pioneers, Steponas Garbačiauskas, wrote: "In 1919 Lithuanian women athletes started organizing, but they showed up publicly only in 1920–1921 and started playing basketball."<ref>Stanislovas Stonkus "Krepšinio kelias į Lietuvą" (page: 1)</ref> Though women started playing basketball in Lithuania before men did, the first official game was played by men on April 23, 1922, when Lietuvos Fizinio Lavinimo Sąjunga (English: Lithuanian Physical Education Union) played a game against Kaunas. LFLS won the game with a score of 8–6. This day is regarded as the beginning of basketball in Lithuania. The first official women's basketball game in Lithuania took place on September 10, 1922.<ref>Stanislovas Stonkus "Krepšinio kelias į Lietuvą" (page: 4)</ref>
European Championship for Women (2001) - 4th place


The first European women's basketball championship was organized in [[EuroBasket 1938 Women|1938]]. It was held in [[Rome]], [[Italy]]. The Lithuanian women's squad competed and became European vice-champions. The team's head coach was [[Feliksas Kriaučiūnas]], already well known for his achievements with the [[Lithuania men's national basketball team|Lithuanian men's basketball team]].<ref>Stanislovas Stonkus "Krepšinio kelias į Lietuvą" (pages: 29–31)</ref>
European Championship for Women (1999) - 6th place


After [[World War II]], the [[Soviet Union]] occupied [[Lithuania]] and forced it to play for the [[Soviet Union women's national basketball team]]. The best Lithuanian players, playing for the Soviet Union national basketball team, won several titles with it. As members of Soviet Union team, Lithuanians (men and women) in total won 17 Olympic medals (8 gold, 6 silver and 3 bronze), 17 World championship medals (11 gold, 5 silver and one bronze), and 51 EuroBasket medals (36 gold, 4 silver and 11 bronze).<ref>{{cite web|title=Krepšinis|url=http://www.lse.lt/index.php?3658787114|website=Lietuvos sporto enciklopedija|access-date=29 April 2015}}</ref> The most decorated Lithuanian players during the Soviet era were [[Angelė Rupšienė]], who won the first two women's [[Basketball at the Summer Olympics#Women|Olympic basketball golds]] in [[Basketball at the 1976 Summer Olympics|1976]] and [[Basketball at the 1980 Summer Olympics|1980]] and also the [[1971 FIBA World Championship for Women|1971]], [[1975 FIBA World Championship for Women|1975]] [[FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup|Women's World Cup]], and [[Vida Beselienė]], who got an Olympic gold in 1980 and the [[1983 FIBA World Championship for Women|1983 Women's World Cup]]. Other Lithuanian world champions were Jurate Daktaraitė ([[1959 FIBA World Championship for Women|1959]]), Larissa Vinčaitė (1971), and Chamomile Šidlauskaitė (1983).<ref>[http://www.musukrepsinis.lt/lkf/istorija/ Istorija], LKF</ref>
European Championship for Women (1997) - 1st place


Yet the occupation left many painful marks in Lithuania and Lithuanians' memories.
European Championship for Women (1995) - 5th place
[[File:Jurgita Streimikyte-Virbickiene by Augustas Didzgalvis.jpg|thumb|right|[[Jurgita Štreimikytė]], former [[Women's National Basketball Association|WNBA]] player, one of the 1997's team leaders.]]
Lithuania women's national basketball team returned to [[FIBA]] games only in [[EuroBasket 1995 Women|EuroBasket 1995]] and achieved the 5th place.<ref>Algimantas Bertašius and Stanislovas Stonkus "Su Lietuvos vardu per Europą, per pasaulį" (2009 edition); page: 179</ref>


The team's biggest success was achieved two years later in [[EuroBasket 1997 Women|EuroBasket 1997]] when the national team, coached by [[Vydas Gedvilas]], became the European champions in [[Budapest]]. It was the first and the only European title for the Lithuanian women's basketball squad.<ref>Algimantas Bertašius and Stanislovas Stonkus "Su Lietuvos vardu per Europą, per pasaulį" (2009 edition); pages: 182–186</ref>
European Championship for Women (1938) - 2nd place


A Year later, Lithuania participated in the [[1998 FIBA World Championship for Women|1998 FIBA Women's World Cup]]. Despite successful European competition, Lithuanians lost the quarter-finals game to 1994's World champions, [[Brazil women's national basketball team|Brazil's national team]], 70–72 and had to play for fifth place. There they lost to [[Spain women's national basketball team|Spain]] 59–70 and took only 8th place.<ref>Algimantas Bertašius and Stanislovas Stonkus "Su Lietuvos vardu per Europą, per pasaulį" (2009 edition); pages: 187–190</ref>
== FIBA World Championship record ==


At the [[EuroBasket Women 1999]], Lithuania took 6th place and failed to qualify for the [[Basketball at the 2000 Summer Olympics#Women.27s tournament|2000 Summer Olympics]], held in [[Sydney]].<ref>Algimantas Bertašius and Stanislovas Stonkus "Su Lietuvos vardu per Europą, per pasaulį" (2009 edition); pages: 190–191</ref>

They took 11th place. As a consequence, [[Lithuanian Basketball Federation]] decided to end collaboration with Vydas Gedvilas.<ref>Algimantas Bertašius and Stanislovas Stonkus "Su Lietuvos vardu per Europą, per pasaulį" (2009 edition); pages: 198–199</ref>
In 2003, LKF Executive Committee chose [[Algirdas Paulauskas]] as the new Lithuania women's national basketball team coach. He was working previously as an assistant coach in the national team until the 1996 World Championship when he decided to leave the squad due to poor performance.

In 2007, a sculpture dedicated to the Lithuanian basketball was introduced in [[Vilnius]], near the [[Siemens Arena]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Vilniuje iškilmingai atidengtas paminklas Lietuvos krepšiniui (nuotraukos, video)|url=http://www.lrytas.lt/-11884007851186485055-vilniuje-i%C5%A1kilmingai-atidengtas-paminklas-lietuvos-krep%C5%A1iniui-nuotraukos-video.htm|website=lrytas.lt|access-date=29 August 2007|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150429142609/http://www.lrytas.lt/-11884007851186485055-vilniuje-i%C5%A1kilmingai-atidengtas-paminklas-lietuvos-krep%C5%A1iniui-nuotraukos-video.htm|archive-date=29 April 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> It has carved names of Elena Kubiliūnaitė-Garbačiauskienė, Ona Bartkevičiūtė-Butautienė, Jūratė Daktaraitė, Angelė Jankūnaitė-Rupšienė, Vida Šulskytė-Beselienė, Jurgita Štreimikytė-Virbickienė, Lina Dambrauskaitė and Irena Baranauskaitė.

In [[EuroBasket Women 2009]], the Lithuanian women's national team suffered a fiasco, just like the men's squad. The Lithuanian national team took 9th–12th place after not reaching the knockout stage for the first time. After the European championship Algirdas Paulauskas returned to the Lithuanian squad once again.<ref>[http://www.delfi.lt/sportas/krepsinis/apaulauskas-viliojamas-sugrizti-i-moteru-rinktine.d?id=27981477 A.Paulauskas viliojamas sugrįžti į moterų rinktinę] {{in lang|lt}}</ref>

At [[EuroBasket Women 2011]], the Lithuanians showed signs of hope again, reaching the knockout stage, however there they were eliminated by the [[France women's national basketball team|French national team]] 58–66 and took 7th place.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Buračas|first1=Rokas|title=Ašaros Lodzėje – lietuvės liks be medalių (2 video, foto, komentarai, statistika)|url=http://www.basketnews.lt/news-40451-asaros-lodzeje-lietuves-liks-be-medaliu-2-video-foto-komentarai-statistika.html|website=BasketNews.lt|access-date=30 June 2011}}</ref> Because of that, Lithuania lost all the possibilities to qualify into the [[Basketball at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|2012 Summer Olympics]], held in [[London]]. To this day, Lithuania women's national basketball team never participated in the Olympic Games, despite the several appearances in the World championships and successful European championships.

Tough times returned to the Lithuanian squad at [[EuroBasket Women 2013]] where they took only 14th place and were unable to participate in the [[2014 FIBA World Championship for Women|2014 FIBA Women's World Cup]], held in Turkey.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Buračas|first1=Rokas|title=Lietuvės Europos pirmenybes baigė nuskriausdamos Baltarusiją (komentaras, statistika)|url=http://www.basketnews.lt/news-62994-lietuves-europos-pirmenybes-baige-nuskriausdamos-baltarusija-komentaras-statistika.html|website=BasketNews.lt|access-date=17 June 2013}}</ref> By far, it is the worst performance for the national team.

Lithuania's national team qualified to [[EuroBasket Women 2015]], which was held on 11–28 June in Hungary and Romania, after defeating [[Great Britain women's national basketball team|Great Britain]] 70–63.<ref>{{cite web|title=Lietuvos moterų rinktinė iškovojo kelialapį į Europos čempionatą (statistika)|url=http://www.basketnews.lt/news-74434-lietuvos-moteru-rinktine-iskovojo-kelialapi-i-europos-cempionata-statistika.html|website=BasketNews.lt|access-date=25 June 2014}}</ref> The team's main aim was to qualify for the [[Basketball at the 2016 Summer Olympics|2016 Summer Olympics]]. They began the journey successfully by taking the 2nd place in the second stage, though in the quarterfinal they were defeated by [[Belarus women's national basketball team|Belarus]] 66–68. Lithuania then lost two more matches while playing for 5th-8th place and finished only 8th. That result eliminated the dream of the Lithuania women's national team from competing at the Olympics once again.

The team is currently ranked 31st in the FIBA World Rankings.

History

[edit]
See also: Basketball in Lithuania § History
The very first basketball players in Lithuania were women.
Lithuania national team during EuroBasket 1938 in Rome, Italy

Basketball first reached Lithuania when the game was already 30 years old. The version originally played was the German (Dutch) variant, not the North American version invented by James Naismith. The baskets were fastened to the poles without boards, and the game was played in a huge court.[2] One of the Lithuanian sport pioneers, Steponas Garbačiauskas, wrote: "In 1919 Lithuanian women athletes started organizing, but they showed up publicly only in 1920–1921 and started playing basketball."[3] Though women started playing basketball in Lithuania before men did, the first official game was played by men on April 23, 1922, when Lietuvos Fizinio Lavinimo Sąjunga (English: Lithuanian Physical Education Union) played a game against Kaunas. LFLS won the game with a score of 8–6. This day is regarded as the beginning of basketball in Lithuania. The first official women's basketball game in Lithuania took place on September 10, 1922.[4]

The first European women's basketball championship was organized in 1938. It was held in Rome, Italy. The Lithuanian women's squad competed and became European vice-champions. The team's head coach was Feliksas Kriaučiūnas, already well known for his achievements with the Lithuanian men's basketball team.[5]

After World War II, the Soviet Union occupied Lithuania and forced it to play for the Soviet Union women's national basketball team. The best Lithuanian players, playing for the Soviet Union national basketball team, won several titles with it. As members of Soviet Union team, Lithuanians (men and women) in total won 17 Olympic medals (8 gold, 6 silver and 3 bronze), 17 World championship medals (11 gold, 5 silver and one bronze), and 51 EuroBasket medals (36 gold, 4 silver and 11 bronze).[6] The most decorated Lithuanian players during the Soviet era were Angelė Rupšienė, who won the first two women's Olympic basketball golds in 1976 and 1980 and also the 1971, 1975 Women's World Cup, and Vida Beselienė, who got an Olympic gold in 1980 and the 1983 Women's World Cup. Other Lithuanian world champions were Jurate Daktaraitė (1959), Larissa Vinčaitė (1971), and Chamomile Šidlauskaitė (1983).[7]

Yet the occupation left many painful marks in Lithuania and Lithuanians' memories.

Jurgita Štreimikytė, former WNBA player, one of the 1997's team leaders.

Lithuania women's national basketball team returned to FIBA games only in EuroBasket 1995 and achieved the 5th place.[8]

The team's biggest success was achieved two years later in EuroBasket 1997 when the national team, coached by Vydas Gedvilas, became the European champions in Budapest. It was the first and the only European title for the Lithuanian women's basketball squad.[9]

A Year later, Lithuania participated in the 1998 FIBA Women's World Cup. Despite successful European competition, Lithuanians lost the quarter-finals game to 1994's World champions, Brazil's national team, 70–72 and had to play for fifth place. There they lost to Spain 59–70 and took only 8th place.[10]

At the EuroBasket Women 1999, Lithuania took 6th place and failed to qualify for the 2000 Summer Olympics, held in Sydney.[11]

In EuroBasket 2001 Women, Lithuanians qualified for four best tournament's teams, though losing the bronze medals game to Spain 74–89. Yet the team qualified for the 2002 FIBA Women's World Cup, held in China.[12]

At the Women's World Cup, Lithuania played eight matches and won three, against Taiwan, Cuba and Yugoslavia. They took 11th place. As a consequence, Lithuanian Basketball Federation decided to end collaboration with Vydas Gedvilas.[13] In 2003, LKF Executive Committee chose Algirdas Paulauskas as the new Lithuania women's national basketball team coach. He was working previously as an assistant coach in the national team until the 1996 World Championship when he decided to leave the squad due to poor performance.

At EuroBasket Women 2005, held in Turkey, Lithuania, losing their last two matches, to finish in 4th place. Although, they returned to Lithuania with the voucher to the 2006 FIBA Women's World Cup, held in Brazil.[14]

At their third Women's World Cup appearance, the Lithuanians lost the 5th-place game to France and took 6th place, repeating the best performance achieved back in 1998.[15]

At EuroBasket Women 2007, the Lithuanians were crushed in the 5th-place game against Czech Republic with result 54–93 and lost all chances of competing for the ticket to the 2008 Summer Olympics, held in Beijing. Algirdas Paulauskas left the squad for the second time that year.[16]

In 2007, a sculpture dedicated to the Lithuanian basketball was introduced in Vilnius, near the Siemens Arena.[17] It has carved names of Elena Kubiliūnaitė-Garbačiauskienė, Ona Bartkevičiūtė-Butautienė, Jūratė Daktaraitė, Angelė Jankūnaitė-Rupšienė, Vida Šulskytė-Beselienė, Jurgita Štreimikytė-Virbickienė, Lina Dambrauskaitė and Irena Baranauskaitė.

In EuroBasket Women 2009, the Lithuanian women's national team suffered a fiasco, just like the men's squad. The Lithuanian national team took 9th–12th place after not reaching the knockout stage for the first time. After the European championship Algirdas Paulauskas returned to the Lithuanian squad once again.[18]

At EuroBasket Women 2011, the Lithuanians showed signs of hope again, reaching the knockout stage, however there they were eliminated by the French national team 58–66 and took 7th place.[19] Because of that, Lithuania lost all the possibilities to qualify into the 2012 Summer Olympics, held in London. To this day, Lithuania women's national basketball team never participated in the Olympic Games, despite the several appearances in the World championships and successful European championships.

Tough times returned to the Lithuanian squad at EuroBasket Women 2013 where they took only 14th place and were unable to participate in the 2014 FIBA Women's World Cup, held in Turkey.[20] By far, it is the worst performance for the national team.

Lithuania's national team qualified to EuroBasket Women 2015, which was held on 11–28 June in Hungary and Romania, after defeating Great Britain 70–63.[21] The team's main aim was to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics. They began the journey successfully by taking the 2nd place in the second stage, though in the quarterfinal they were defeated by Belarus 66–68. Lithuania then lost two more matches while playing for 5th-8th place and finished only 8th. That result eliminated the dream of the Lithuania women's national team from competing at the Olympics once again.

Lithuania's national team is now expecting for a potential qualification for the 2028 Summer Olympics after a big boost by being awarded as one of the co-hosts for the EuroBasket Women 2027 alongside Finland.
