Limoges Cercle Saint-Pierre, known as Limoges CSP or simply CSP, is a professional basketball club based in the city of Limoges, France, founded in 1929. It plays in the top French division, the LNB Élite, and has won the French championship 11 times. Its peak came in the 1980s and 1990s, and in 1993 it won the FIBA European League, now the EuroLeague, becoming the first French club to take a major European title in a team sport. Financial problems led to relegation from the top flight in 2000 and a spell in the third division from 2004, and the club needed six seasons to return to the Pro A. It won national titles again in 2014 and 2015 and, after a takeover in 2024, was accepted into the top division for the 2024-2025 season.
