Team Indonesia is one of the major teams in Southeast Asia. The team finished among the top-four teams in Asia at the 1967 Asian Basketball Championship. At the 1996 SEABA Championship, Indonesia was the dominant country and won the gold medal.

Indonesia participated at the 2009 FIBA Asia Championship as well, which was held 6–16 August 2009, in Tianjin, China. They were able to qualify for the said tournament by placing second in the 2009 SEABA Championship held from 6–9 June 2009. The team finished 15th out of 16 competing teams at the FIBA Asia Championship, where only the top-3 qualified for the World Basketball Championships. For these events, the head coach of the team was Rastafari Horongbala.
At the FIBA Asia Championship 2009, Indonesia finished 15th, leaving behind Sri Lanka. On individual performances, Kelly Purwanto and Isman Thoyib finished among the tournament's top performers. Purwanto finished in the top ten in steals per game, Thoyib finished in the top ten in blocks per game. Indonesian basketball-icon Mario Wuysang was not able to represent his country at that event due scheduling conflicts. (the final four of the Indonesian IBL was scheduled about the same time with this Asia Championship).

Indonesia will co-host the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup along with Philippines and Japan although its national team will have to finish at least among the top eight in the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup in order to qualify.
