The team plays in the Liga Nacional de Básquet (LNB), the first division of the Argentine league system. Boca's home games are played at the Estadio Luis Conde, also called the Bombonerita (in English: "Small Bombonera"), as a reference to the club's football stadium known as the Bombonera.

Boca is the second most successful team of the LNB's history (along Ferro Carril Oeste and behind Atenas), having won the league 3 times (1996–97, 2003–04, and 2006–07),[1] and being runner-up another 3 (1997–98, 2002–03, and 2004–05).[1] Moreover, Boca won the first 5 editions of the Argentine Cup (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006)[2] and the Top 4 in 2004. At the international level, the team has won 3 times the Campeonato Sudamericano de Clubes (2004, 2005, and 2006).

For the 2009–10 season, Boca signed a sponsorship agreement with the Chaco based AeroChaco airlines, that contributed US$ 500,000 to the club's professional basketball team.[3] As part of the agreement, Boca played in the Liga Nacional under the name "AeroChaco Boca Juniors", and also played some of its matches in the city of Resistencia.
