In terms of trophies Achilleas has won the Cyprus Basketball League 5 times making it the third most successful team on the island to date behind EKA AEL and APOEL. Through their domestic successes they have represented the island in several European competitions such as the Korac Cup (in 1999 and 2001), the Saporta Cup in 2000 and the Euroleague (historically "The European Champions Cup").
