Basketball appeared at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis for the first time as a demonstration sport.

There were seven different events that took place: an amateur championship, a college championship, a YMCA championship, two high school championships, and two elementary school championships.

Men's amateur championships

The Buffalo German YMCA dominated the men's championship while other teams frequently failed to field a complete team or show up for all their scheduled games, resulting in several lopsided scores and forfeited matches.
