The competition was founded in 2003 following a conflict between FIBA Europe and ULEB during the 2001-02 season, as an attempt by FIBA to expand their secondary tournament held during the previous season, the FIBA Europe Regional Challenge Cup by merging it with the FIBA Europe Champions Cup
The competition ultimately ceased in 2007. Each season's finalists were promoted to the next season's more prestigious 3rd-tier level competition, the FIBA EuroChallenge.
