The first basketball game was played the same year against Udarnik and Olimpija came out on top with the score of 37–14. Late in 1946, the club was renamed Enotnost and was known by that name until 1954 when it assumed the name AŠK Olimpia.

Olimpija won its firstYugoslav League title in the1957 season under the direction of the coach/playerBoris Kristančić. In the following years, Olimpija won five more Yugoslav titles, in 1959, 1961, 1962, 1966, and 1970. A new era for the club began with Slovenia's independence when Olimpija won eight consecutive league titles between 1992 and 1999.

On the international stage, the 1993–94 season was the club's best season as they won theEuropean Cup against theSpanish ACB League clubTaugrés under the direction of coachZmago Sagadin. In the 2001–02 season, Olimpija won the"Small Triple Crown", taking theSlovenian League championship,Slovenian Cup, and theAdriatic League.

On 8 July 2019, Olimpija merged with Croatian teamCedevita, formingCedevita Olimpija.[1][2]
