Basketball is a team sport characterized by direct opposition, so it requires physical strength and agility. The sport has gained global popularity which attracts numerous individuals to engage in practice and competition. This research was conducted to establish a standardized professional fitness assessment for female athletes from the Ho Chi Minh City basketball team. To fulfil the stated aim, the study employed three common scientific research methods, namely document analysis, interviews, and statistical analysis. Sixteen female basketball players from the Ho Chi Minh City team were involved as the participants, with an average age of 23.5 ± 3.54 years, height of 169.25 ± 4.77 cm, and weight of 64.75 ± 5.56 kg. The result has provided a scoring system and classification table to accurately measure the professional fitness of female basketballers. One more notable thing was that the participants exhibited superior professional fitness compared to their counterparts of the years 2004 and 2010, but inferior to that of the national team in 2006. Furthermore, regarding their performances in fitness tests, 18.75% of the participants were deemed good, 25.0% satisfactory, 37.50% unsatisfactory, 18.75% poor, and none achieved the excellent level.
