Éanna Basketball Club is an Irish basketball club based in Dublin. The club's senior men's representative team, Griffith College Éanna, is currently a member of Ireland's top national league, the Super League.
Éanna Basketball was set up by ex Coláiste Éanna players in the division two Dublin Men's Basketball League in 2005. [1] [2] In 2009, Éanna amalgamated with the highly successful underage club Notre Dame, adding a junior programme which grew the club to 13 teams including the senior teams. [3]
The 2014–15 season saw the club enter a senior men's team into the National League for the first time; the team placed third in its first season. [3] In 2015, the team was elevated into the Premier League. [4] In 2018, the team was demoted to Division One. [5] After winning the National League Division One in 2018–19, the team was promoted back into the Super League. [6]
In January 2020, the Super League team made it to the National Cup final, where they lost 78–68 to Templeogue. [7] In January 2023, the Super League team returned to the National Cup final, where they lost 74–69 to Maree. [8] They went on to finish on top of the Northern Conference ladder for the 2022–23 season before losing to Ballincollig in the quarter-finals. [9]
In April 2024, the club won their first men's Super League championship with a 93–61 win over Killester in the final. [10]
Eanna Basketball was set up as a Division 2 team from players from Colaiste Eanna and Notre Dame nine years ago.
