Limoges, green city! And if the city is well endowed in terms of parks and gardens, that's not what it's about here but rather sport. The CSP is THE emblematic basketball club of the Limougeaud city. We are very proud of it and we explain why.

A basketball club, an extraordinary history and a great track record
Created in 1929, and after fifty years spent in the local, regional championships, and the lower national divisions, the CSP reached the first division of the French championship in 1978. It won its first french cup in 1982, as well as, the same year, his first European title, the Korac cup. He becomes champion of France, for the first time in its history the following year, in 1983.
In 1988, he won the Pro-A championship, organized for the first time by the national basketball league. The same year, he strengthened his European record by winning the cup of cups. On April 15, 1993, it became the first French team sports club to win a European Cup champion clubs, all disciplines combined, before being joined, in May of the same year, by Olympique de Marseille in football.
The legend was born and made the pride of his city. On its track record, the Limoges CSP has eleven French championship titles, and six French Cups. He is, with FA Mulhouse and ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne, theone of the three teams crowned French champions for three consecutive years. However, she is the only one to have been twice, from 1983 to 1985, from 1988 to 1990 and from 2014 to 2015.
With five European trophies, the Limoges CSP is the second French team sports club, all disciplines combined, which has the most important European prize list. The Cercle Saint-Pierre is one of the rare European teams, all disciplines combined, to be crowned in all the European events of their sport.
The temple and its public
The CSP evolves at the Palais des Sports de Beaublanc, seat of the first French All-star Game in 1987 and a veritable cauldron on match nights thanks to the fervor of the public and in particular of the supporters' clubs (Les Phoenix, Eagles, the Ultras Green and Circle of Enthusiasts). The basketball fever in Limoges never evaporated, even during the demotions during the 2000 seasons. The public was always present, even breaking the attendance record for an NM1 match with more than 6 spectators. Extremely chauvinistic and demanding, the spectators who make it up fill the room with songs and cheers that are sometimes virulent but always good-natured. This atmosphere is known to be one of the most impressive in France and Europe.
A region that has sport!
If basketball makes Limougeau evenings vibrate, other teams regularly come to ignite the local sports program:
- CA Brive : Second division French champion in 1957, then winner of the Yves-Du-Manoir Trophy against the Paloise Section in 1996, the CABCL participated in 3 finals of the French Rugby Championship, against Agen in 1965, Béziers in 1972 and the Stade Toulousain in 1996. The Limousin club can be proud of the supreme title of European Champion obtained in 1997 after an extraordinary match against the Leicester Tigers. In 2013, CA Brive returned to the Top14 that they had left a year earlier after a memorable final in Bordeaux against Section Paloise.
- Limoges Hand 87 : The hand club evolves at the Henri Normand gymnasium, in Limoges. He was notably National 1 champion in 2015.
- The Fire Bulls : The Limougeaud ice hockey club is based on the Limoges Olympic ice rink.
