Campeonato Argentino de Básquet
The Campeonato Argentino de Básquet ("Argentine Basketball Championship" in English) is the oldest basketball competition still running in Argentina. The first edition of the tournament was held in 1928, having been played (with some interruptions) to present days. The Campeonato Argentino is played by teams representing Argentine's provincial sides. Due to being contested by provinces all over Argentina, his competition has been called "The most Argentine championship of all".

Córdoba was the first team outside Buenos Aires to win a championship, in 1932 and 1933. Other provincial sides such as Santa Fe (1934-1935) and Santiago del Estero (1937, with Rafael Lledó as notable player) would win their first national titles also.
