Pallacanestro Treviso, more often known by its sponsorship name of Benetton Basket, or Benetton Treviso, is an Italian League professional basketball club from Treviso, the headquarters city of its longtime owner Benetton. It is currently competing in the ULEB Cup and the Italian Serie A.

History

The club was founded in 1954 and purchased by Benetton in 1982, although it retains "Pallacanestro Treviso" as its legal name to this day. With the deep pockets of the Benetton family backing them, the club emerged in the 1990s as a major force in both Italy and Europe.
