History

Éanna Basketball was set up by ex Coláiste Éanna players in the division two Dublin Men's Basketball League in 2006.[1] In 2009, the club added a junior programme which grew the club to 13 teams including the senior teams. The 2014–15 season saw the club enter a Senior Men's team into the National League for the first time; the team placed third in its first season.[2] In 2015, the team was elevated into the Premier League.[3] In 2018, the team was demoted to Division One.[4] After winning the National League Division One in 2018–19, the team was promoted back into the Super League.[5] In January 2020, the Super League team made it to the National Cup final, where they lost 78–68 to Templeogue.[6]
