Bàsquet Mallorca was founded in 2008 as a merger of two teams from Balearic Islands:
The team started playing in LEB Oro, but in the summer of 2010 they were relegated to LEB Plata because of not submitting all documentation on time. In that 2010–11 season, Mallorca promoted to LEB Oro after winning the final playoffs to BC Andorra. In the last game, Mallorca won 67–66 after Andreu Matalí failed two free shots with only one second left.[1]
