The league exists alongside domestic leagues in each country; all of its teams play in their country's own competitions as well as the Adriatic League. The Adriatic Basketball Association which organizes the league is a full member of ULEB and a voting member of the Euroleague board, so this league can be considered as a local version of the Europe-wide Euroleague, in which many Adriatic League clubs also compete. It does not include teams from the Republic of Macedonia (which was also part of Yugoslavia) or the other Balkan countries. The ULEBwas founded in 1991, with the aim to help the cooperation and development of European professional basketball leagues. ...

History
The league was founded in 2001 with 12 teams, the strongest sides of the former Yugoslavia. For the 2002-03 season, the league remained at 12 teams, with one team dropping out and Israeli power Maccabi Tel Aviv joining. Maccabi left the league after one season, but the league expanded to 14 teams for 2003-04, and to 16 for 2004-05. The league reverted to 14 teams for 2005-06. 2001: A Space Odyssey. ...

Competition Like most European leagues, the regular season consists of a double round-robin schedule, with each team playing every other team home and away. The top teams in the league then advance to a playoff round to crown the league champion.
From 2002 through 2004, four teams qualified, and the playoffs were termed the "Final Four"; starting in 2005, eight teams advanced to the "Final Eight" round. All playoff rounds consist of one-off knockout matches, unusual among European leagues. However, since all Adriatic League clubs play in domestic leagues at the same time, and many also play in the Euroleague, the current format has the virtue of limiting fixture congestion for the playoff sides.
So far, every team that topped the Adriatic League's regular-season table has gone on to win the championship.
Current teams (2005-06) At present, the teams in the league are: - KK Bosna - Sarajevo, BIH
- KK Cibona - Zagreb, CRO
- KK Crvena zvezda - Belgrade, Serbia, SCG
- KK Domžale - Domžale, SLV
