The Campeonato Argentino de Clubes was the top division basketball championship in Argentina until 1984, when it was replaced by the Liga Nacional de Básquet.[1]
History
The competition was established in 1928 with the purpose of organising a competition for clubs.[2][3] Until then, there was only a tournament where provincial sides took part, apart of local leagues such as Torneo Metropolitano, for teams of Buenos Aires.[4]
The Campeonato Argentino was organised by the Federación Argentina, with the first two edition being played at YCMA's clay courts in Buenos Aires. After four editions held in Buenos Aires, the Campeonato Argentino was also played in Córdoba, Mendoza, Rosario, Tucumán, San Juan, Salta and Jujuy. In 1939 the CA was held in Bahía Blanca (renamed "the capital of Argentine basketball"), with 15 teams taking part of it.[4]
The last edition of the competition was held in 1984 and won by Deportivo San Andrés, a club from General San Martín Partido, after defeating River Plate at the finals.
Obras Sanitarias,[5] Lanús, and San Lorenzo are the only current LNB teams that won at least once the CA championship.
