Americas Under-16 Championship

The team qualified on six occasions. Argentina's best performance was 3rd place in 2009 and 2017.

In 2021, Angelina Giacone stood out as one of the more versatile players in the tournament averaging 7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, but it was a team effort defensively and Delfina Cergneux led the charge on the boards to keep Argentina in every game.[2]
