The team represents the basketball men's section of CS Rapid București, a multi-sports club. Rapid won a national title in 1951 and finished three times third, in 1961, 1964 and 1983, but in the last years played mostly in the second-tier Liga I.[1] However, in 2018 the league was merged with the Liga Națională, which meant that Rapid got promoted back to the top flight.[2]
