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".El más Argentino de los campeonatos festeja 80 ediciones on CABB, 5 May 2014
