The competition was established in 1936, with the purpose of organizing a basketball competition for men's clubs.<ref>[http://www.elgrafico.com.ar/2012/02/07/C-4064-100-anos-de-basquetbol.php "100 años de básquetbol"], El Gráfico, by Osvaldo Orcasitas, 7 Feb 2012</ref><ref>[http://www.cabb.com.ar/timeline/ Timeline] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180303225847/http://www.cabb.com.ar/timeline/ |date=2018-03-03 }} on CABB website, retrieved 3 Oct 2015</ref> Until then, there was only a tournament where provincial sides took part, as a part of local leagues, such as the Torneo Metropolitano, for teams of [[Buenos Aires]].<ref name=hist>[http://genealogiadelbasquet.blogspot.com.ar/p/historia-del-basquet-en-la-argentina.html "Historia del básquet en la Argentina"]</ref>
The Campeonato Argentino was organised by the [[Argentine Basketball Confederation]] (CABB), with the first two editions being played on the [[YMCA]]'s [[clay court]]s, in Buenos Aires. After four editions were held in Buenos Aires, the Campeonato Argentino was also played in Córdoba, Mendoza, Rosario, Tucumán, San Juan, Salta, and Jujuy. In 1939, the CA was held in [[Bahía Blanca]] (renamed "the capital of Argentine basketball"), with 15 teams taking part in it.<ref name=hist/>
The last edition of the competition was held in 1984, and was won by [[Club Deportivo San Andrés Basquet|Deportivo San Andrés]], a club from [[General San Martín Partido]], after they defeated [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]] in the finals.
