KK Split is a Croatian professional basketball club from Split that plays in the Croatian A-1 Liga.
The club's roots are found in Hajduk sports society's basketball section, which was established in 1945. After three years of mostly sporadic activity, in 1948, the club established its own organizational structure known as KK Hajduk, which was independent of sports society. In the next year, 1949, the club changed its name to KK Split.
After competing in the Yugoslav lower divisions for more than a decade, the club finally made it to the Yugoslav top-tier level Yugoslav First Federal League, for the 1963–64 season, and it stayed there until the breakup of Yugoslavia.
In 1967, the club adopted - for sponsorship reasons - the name KK Jugoplastika (Jugoplastika was a factory of clothing, accessories, and footwear products, made from thermoplastic materials and fiberglass; the original predecessor of AD Plastik.), and kept it until the end of the 1989–90 season. In the next season (1990–91), the club participated in the worldwide, national domestic, and European competitions, under the sponsorship of Pop 84 (an Italian clothes company from Ancona).
KK Split has been a very successful club in European basketball history. They are, together with the first champions of the competition, ASK Riga, the only team to win the EuroLeague trophy three times in a row. In the years 1989, 1990, and 1991, the team, which was known back then as Jugoplastika and Pop 84, with players like Dino Rađa, Toni Kukoč, Žan Tabak, and Velimir Perasović, won the European top-tier level basketball trophy.
