Norway has tried qualifying for the Eurobasket competition several times, but never made it. They only entered the Olympic qualification once, for the 1988 Summer Olympics. Norway is one of Europe's most populous nations to never qualify for a major international basketball competition, only behind Belarus and Slovakia.
