Non-FIBA competitions In 2006, Donar (then known as Hanzevast Capitals) played in the Haarlem Basketball Week, an International tournament in Amsterdam hosted during the winter break. Six years later, in 2012, the team hosted the Groninger Basketball Week at the MartiniPlaza.

For the 2024–25 season, Donar joined the European North Basketball League (ENBL), a FIBA-affiliated but separately organised competition for basketball teams across the continent.
