History
The club was officially founded in 1910 by Henri Mamet, who also became the first president of JL Bourg.
. In 1956, the team won its first title when it won the Ain regional championship.
The team joined professional competition in 1996 when it entered the LNB Pro B, the national second division.
In 2014, JL Bourg adopted its new home arena, Ekinox, with a capacity of 3,500 spectators. This replaced the Salle des Sports which had a capacity of 2,300. In the same year, the team also promoted to the Pro A after it won the Pro B Playoffs. They relegated back after the 2014–15 season.
In the 2019–20 season, Bourg was in the 5th place until the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the 2020–21 season, Bourg will make its European debut when it will play in the EuroCup.
During the 2023–24 season, Bourg had the first pick of the 2024 NBA draft Zaccharie Risacher on its roster which was on a loaned from LDLC ASVEL. In the EuroCup, Bourg had its most successful European season in club history after reaching the finals following a 2–1 semifinal win over Beşiktaş. But however, they lost to Paris Basketball in the 2024 EuroCup Finals.
