Club Bàsquet Menorca is a Spanish basketball club based in Mahón, Balearic Islands.

## History

[edit]

Bàsquet Menorca was founded in 2016 with the aim to reach again the professional basketball after the dissolution of former Liga ACB team Menorca Bàsquet.[1] In its first season, the club played in Liga EBA with the place of the Balearic multi-sports club CCE Sant Lluís, based in the namesake municipality that played the previous season in the same league.[2]

The 2017–18 season was the first one of the club with the name of Club Bàsquet Menorca, starting to play its home matches at Pavelló Menorca. It ended the season with a promotion at home to LEB Plata, third tier. At the 2018-19 LEB Plata season CB Menorca would get a sponsor in the form of Fundación Hestia, changing their name to CB Hestia Menorca.

At the 2022-23 LEB Plata season, the team managed to get second in the league table, which opened a chance for the team to get promoted through the promotion play-offs, after having failed in the 2020-21 LEB Plata season.

After beating CP La Roda in the round of 16 and CB Ciudad de Ponferrada in the quarter-finals, CB Hestia Menorca would beat CB Clavijo and get promoted to LEB Oro, making the first time in 10 years that a Menorcan team would have the chance to play at the second division of Spanish basketball. In their first season back, the 2023-24 LEB Oro season, CB Menorca managed a 12th spot in the league after starting the season in horrible form and always being in the relegation spots.
