Israeli Basketball League Cup

The Basketball League Cup is a pre-season basketball tournament held in Israel since 2006. It is held during the week before the start of the League season. The League Cup tournament is currently sponsored by Pais Lotto and therefore it is officially known as the Chance Cup. Previously the tournament was sponsored by the Toto Winner Organization and it was known as the Winner Cup from 2006 to 2009. In 2010 it had no sponsor and therefore the tournament was named Basketball League Cup.
