The team made their debut at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines.[1] Fielding an all-local team, they lost all of their six games.[2] In cooperation with the USA-Cambodia Basketball Association (UCBA), the roster was overhauled for the 2021 edition in Vietnam where they field Cambodian-American players.[2] They were still unable to make a podium finish.
At the 2023 SEA Games hosted at home, Cambodia's four-man roster had three naturalized players taking advantage of the tournament's regulation which allowed for such setup.[3] The team was able to clinch a gold medal after they beat the Philippines in the final.[4]
