'''Limoges Cercle Saint-Pierre''', commonly referred to as '''Limoges CSP''' or '''CSP''', is a French professional [[basketball]] club based in the city of [[Limoges]].

==History==
The club was founded in 1929, but its peak was during the 1980s and 1990s, when they became the first French club to win a major European-wide title in a team sport, by winning the [[EuroLeague|FIBA European League]] (EuroLeague) in [[1992–93 FIBA European League|1993]].

In the 1999–2000 season, Limoges won its 9th [[French basketball league system|top-tier]] level [[LNB Pro A|French League]] title, but it was [[promotion and relegation|relegated]] to the French second division [[LNB Pro B]], after winning it, because of financial problems. The club didn't get back to its old state for a long time, as it spent the next 3 years in the Pro A, but was relegated again in 2004 after finishing dead last. Starting with the 2004–05 season, Limoges played in the [[Nationale Masculine 1|NM1]], the French third division, due to continued financial problems. It took the club six seasons to eventually return to the Pro A.

In the 2013–14 season, Limoges returned to its old glory, as the team captured its 10th French League national championship, by beating [[SIG Basket|Strasbourg IG]] 0–3 in the French League Finals.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.metronews.fr/sport/basket-limoges-champion-de-france-retour-d-un-historique/mnff!H6olS1CI8fLFA/ | title = Basket : Limoges, retour d'un historique | work = Metronews.fr | date = 6 June 2014 | access-date= 2014-06-18}}</ref> [[Alex Acker]] was named [[LNB Pro A Finals MVP|Finals MVP]].

The club thus qualified for the [[2014–15 Euroleague|2014–15 EuroLeague]] by winning the French League championship, which would be their first appearance in the [[European professional club basketball system|top European-wide league]] in 17 seasons. In the EuroLeague, Limoges lost 8 out of 10 games, managing to win against [[BC UNICS|UNICS]] and [[KK Cedevita|Cedevita]], before being relegated to the European-wide second tier level [[EuroCup Basketball|EuroCup]]. In the EuroCup Round of 32, Limoges was eliminated, after finishing 3rd in [[Eurocup 2014–15 Regular Season Group J|Group J]]. In the French Pro A, Limoges once again had a successful season. In the regular season, Limoges finished in 3rd place behind [[Nanterre 92|JSF Nanterre]] and Strasbourg IG, but in the French League playoffs, they made up for that. In the French League Finals, Limoges beat Strasbourg 1–3, to win back-to-back French League titles.<ref name=c>{{cite web |url=http://www.lepopulaire.fr/accueil/brightcove/2015/06/21/limoges-csp-champion-de-france-2015-le-film-de-la-soiree_94310589800001.html |title=Limoges CSP champion de France 2015 : le film de la soirée |publisher=www.lepopulaire.fr |access-date=2016-08-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151113232946/http://www.lepopulaire.fr/accueil/brightcove/2015/06/21/limoges-csp-champion-de-france-2015-le-film-de-la-soiree_94310589800001.html |archive-date=13 November 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[Ousmane Camara (basketball)|Ousmane Camara]] was named [[LNB Pro A Finals MVP|Finals MVP]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Basket/Actualites/Ousmane-camara-elu-mvp-de-la-finale-de-pro-a/568219 |title=Ousmane Camara (Limoges) élu MVP de la finale de Pro A |publisher=Lequipe.fr |access-date=2016-08-25}}</ref>

==Supporters and rivalries==
The club has a large fan-base, with a dedicated [[ultras]] group called ''Ultras Green''.

Their biggest rival is another legendary French club [[Élan Béarnais Pau-Lacq-Orthez|Pau-Orthez]], and they have been trading blows with one another for national supremacy on the hardwood, both figuratively and literally, since the early 1980s. In the 22 seasons between 1983 and 2004, the two clubs combined for 18 French League championships, and multiple games between the two teams resulted in fights among the players, including one that ended in a brawl between Élan supporters and Limoges players, at the old Orthez venue, La Moutète.{{fact|date=November 2022}}
