The historical European national basketball league rankings are the rankings for each of the different European regional and domestic basketball leagues that are or were eligible to participate in Europe's international continental professional club basketball competitions.

History

[edit]

Over the history of European-wide club basketball competitions, dating back to the old FIBA European Champions Cup (now known as the EuroLeague), which began in 1958, three European national domestic leagues stood out in prominence under the old ratings system that was based only on basketball game competition results, and was originally overseen by FIBA, and then later by Euroleague Basketball Company. The Italian Lega A, which was the top league historically, the Spanish ACB, which was the second best league historically, and the Greek Basket League, which was the third best league historically. The old ratings system, which was used from 1958–2007, included only basketball game competition related results.

Also, the old USSR Premiere League, and the old Yugoslav First Federal League, were additional leagues that historically were among the elite of Europe before they folded. The old Yugoslav First Federal League exists in a similar form today, as the Adriatic ABA League, and the old USSR Premiere League exists in a similar form today, as the VTB United League.
