Association Sportive de Monaco Basketball Club, commonly referred to as AS Monaco Basket, is a French-registered Monaco-based basketball club. They are a part of the Monaco-based multi-sports club AS Monaco.
They were founded in 1924, and currently play in the LNB Pro A and Basketball Champions League. The team plays their home games at Salle Gaston Médecin, and they are coached by Savo Vučević.
About four years after the parent athletic club, AS Monaco, was itself founded, AS Monaco Basket was founded in 1928. They finished as runners-up in the French top-tier Nationale 1 (current LNB Pro A) following the 1950 season, which is regarded as one of their greatest successes in their history. Monaco also won the LNB Pro B (French 2nd Division) championship for the 1973 season, with one of the greatest offenses on the European continent.
AS Monaco Basket joined the Nationale 1 for the 1973–74 season, where they finished in ninth place. They made their first appearance in the European 3rd-tier level FIBA Korać Cup in the 1974–75 season, losing in the group stage to other notable teams such as ASVEL Basket, Levski Sofia, and Brina AMG Sebastiani Basket. They entered the same tournament again for the 1982–83 season, but lost out to Dynamo Moscow in the semifinals qualification battle in the Top 16 group stage, despite a far better finish in the tournament overall.
