KK Split (Košarkaški Klub Split) is a basketball club from Split, Croatia. Currently, KK Split competes in the A1 Liga, Krešimir Ćosić Cup and NLB League.

History

The club's roots are found in Hajduk sports society's basketball section, which was established in 1945. After three years of mostly sporadic activity, in 1948 the club established its own organizational structure as KK Hajduk independently of sports society. Next year, 1949, the club changed its name to KK Split.

After competing in lower divisions for more than a decade, the club finally made it to Yugoslav First Federal League for the 1963/64 season and it stayed there until the breakup of SFR Yugoslavia.

In 1967 the club adopted a name KK Jugoplastika and kept it until 1990.

KK Split has been a very successful club in european basketball. They are, together with the first champions, ASK Riga the only team to win the Euroleague trophy three times in a row. In the years 1989, 1990 and 1991, the team known back then as Jugoplastika and POP 84 with players like Dino Rađa, Toni Kukoč and Žan Tabak won the top european basketball trophy.

Apart from these successes, the club also reached the Euroleague final in 1972, falling to Ignis Varese and won two Korac Cups in 1976 and in 1977.

After the war years, the club had the names Slobodna Dalmacija, Croatia Osiguranje, Split - Croatia Osiguranje and the English translation of the latter, Split Croatia Insurance.
