India successfully defended their title by sweeping the entire tournament. Winning their third overall SABA Championship title, they also got the only slot for South Asia subzone en route to the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship.[4] Sri Lanka finished second and Nepal ended third, wherein they improved their finishes in this edition compared to their positions in the 2014 SABA Championship.

Govindraj, which has been approved by FIBA, secured a court order from the Karnataka High Court to host the tournament as planned.[6]
