The Russian Basketball Cup is the primary professional national domestic basketball cup competition of Russia.

History

After the cease of the USSR Basketball Cup in 1987, the Russian Federation did not launch any Cup competition in the following years despite the fact that the Russian Basketball Super League 1 had started in 1992. The first cup tournament took place in the year 2000 with the Final Four being hosted at

VTB League to win the trophy in 2014. The last two seasons (2020-22) no VTB club applied to participate in the competition as normally two or three teams would join annually. Current holders are BC Samara
