The Liga Uruguaya de Básquetbol (also known as LUB) is the most important Uruguayan Basketball Federation. The Uruguayan Basketball League began to compete in 2003. Before that date, the basketball championships were only federal and no competitions brought together all the clubs in the country. Until the Liga Uruguaya de Básquetbol was created, the capital clubs participated in the Uruguayan Federal Tournament, while the clubs of the rest of the country competed in regional tournaments. The Uruguayan Federal Tournament was founded in 1915, making it amongst the oldest on the continent.
The first tournament had a dramatic end with a double in the last second that brought the Uruguayan Title to Defensor Sporting, repeated in the 2009-10 season. Other champions were Salto Uruguay in 2004, Trouville in 2005-06, Malvín in 2006-07 and 2010–11, Biguá in 2007-08 and 2008–09, Hebraica Macabi in 2011-12 and Aguada in 2012-13. There are only two teams that participated in all seasons; they are: Defensor Sporting and Trouville.
The LUB 2012-13 will be played in three stages: Torneo Clasificatorio (Qualifying Tournament), Súper Liga (Super League) and play-off.
Defensor Sporting and Trouville are the teams with the most participation, having competed in every championship of LUB. The teams compete for the Uruguayan Basketball League divided into zones (Capital Zone, South Zone and North Coast Zone) looking to qualify for the Super League to be crowned Uruguayan Champions.
