'''Tenerife Club de Baloncesto''' was a professional [[basketball]] team based in [[Tenerife]], [[Canary Islands]], [[Spain]].

==History==
Tenerife CB was founded in 1996 after the fusion of some teams of the islands and debuts in [[Liga Española de Baloncesto|LEB Oro]] in the 1996–97 season, the first of this league.

In the 2002–03 season, Tenerife plays the [[EuroCup Challenge|FIBA Champions' Cup]] and reaches the second stage. In the same year, Tenerife CB becomes champion of the [[Copa Príncipe de Asturias de Baloncesto|Copa Príncipe]] and promotes to [[Liga ACB]], where plays two seasons before being relegated to [[Liga Española de Baloncesto|LEB Oro]].

In summer of 2010, Tenerife CB renounces to its berth in [[Liga Española de Baloncesto|LEB Oro]] due to financial problems and is relegated to [[Liga EBA]]. In the next summer and after reaching the promotion playoffs, Tenerife CB achieved a vacant berth to play in [[LEB Plata]], the Spanish basketball third division.

In 2013, the club was not allowed to play the lowest regional category in the Canary Islands.<ref>[http://marchadeportiva.com/index.php/el-tenerife-baloncesto-no-jugara-en-primera-autonomica/ El Tenerife Baloncesto no jugará en Primera Autonómica] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150610230129/http://marchadeportiva.com/index.php/el-tenerife-baloncesto-no-jugara-en-primera-autonomica/ |date=2015-06-10 }}; Marcha Deportiva, 7 October 2013 {{in lang|es}}</ref>
