The Belgian Basketball Cup is the top tier national basketball cup competition in Belgium. The tournament is played in a knock-out format, in which teams are drawn against each other. Oostende is the most succesfull club in the competitions history, as it won 18 titles.
In 2013, the cup got a new name in The Base Cup, referring to the new main sponsor Base. The mobile telephony provider signed a sponsorship contract for 3 years. This led to, in the 2013–14 season, the first time a Final Four was held instead of semifinals with two legs since 2003.
