The Crvena zvezda squads have won a record 35 National League championships, including 15-in-a-row and 6-in-a-row sequences. They have played three different National Leagues since 1945, includingYugoslav Women's Basketball League (1945–1992), First Women's Basketball League of Serbia and Montenegro (1992–2006) and Serbian League (2006 onwards).

Red Star was the major powerhouse in the early stages of theYugoslav Championship, winning 15 championships in a row between 1945 and 1960.^[2] In 1958, it was the first team to represent Yugoslavia in the newly foundedEuropean Cup, reaching the tournament's semifinals.^[3]

The team wasn't able to win the national championship between 1964 and 1972, but it emerged in the second half of the 1970s winning six national titles in a row. In 1979, it achieved its greatest success by winning the European Cup beatingBSE Budapest in the final by 97-62. As of 2021, this remains the highest scoring in a European Cup / Euroleague final. Red Star was the first of only two teams from Yugoslavia to win the competition.^[4]

Red Star again reached the European Cup final in 1981, losing this time toDaugava Riga. The following years were less successful, and the team had to wait until 1990 to return to the competition, marking its seventh appearance in the semi-finals.

During theYugoslav Wars, Red Star was disqualified from the1992–93 European Champions Cup in accordance with theUNSC Resolution 757. The team returned to European competition in 1996 through the second tierRonchetti Cup. It has since appeared in the Ronchetti Cup and its successor theEurocup in 1997, 2000, 2003, 2004,2009,2022,2023 and2025, with modest results.
