The women's basketball tournament of the 2014 Asian Games was held at the 7,406 seat Samsan World Gymnasium, and at the 5,158 seat Hwaseong Sports Complex in Incheon, South Korea from 23 September to 2 October 2014.
With the 2014 FIBA World Championship for Women having been held at the same time as the Asian Games, teams who participated in both tournaments sent two different squads to both Turkey and Incheon. China and Japan sent their "A" team to the World Championship and the "B" team to the Asian Games, while the Koreans did the reverse. The best six teams from the basketball competition of the 2010 Asian Games that participated in 2014 received a bye to the finals.
After Qatari players refused to take off their headscarfs prior to the start of their first game against Mongolia, the match was forfeited. The Qatari team withdrew in protest, but the organizers were unaware due to communication issues; after Qatar failed to appear for their next game, they were disqualifed from the competition on 25 September.
