On the first day of the tournament, at coincident FIBA Central Board meetings in Tokyo, Brazil's men's and women's teams were granted automatic entry to the Olympic Tournament as highly ranked host teams.[1]
After allowing for Brazil's and the tournament winner's direct qualification for the Olympics, the next highest three teams in this tournament went to the final 2016 Summer Olympics Basketball Qualifying Tournament, competing against the highest placed non-winners of the other regional Championships. As Brazil fell in the semifinals, Puerto Rico and Venezuela, as the third-placed teams in their groups, contested a fifth-place match. Venezuela eventually won that match and qualified for the Olympic qualifying tournament.
Canada went on to win its second title - defeating Cuba - the first after 20 years, when the tournament was also held in Canada.
