In 1999, FV Lugano became the Lugano Snakes, the Snakes would go on to win three Swiss League championships, two Swiss Cups, and appear in the 2000-2001 EuroLeague. In 2003, financial failure would see the Snakes become the Tigers. Lugano Tigers would go on to win the Swiss League championship in 2006, and finish in second place in the next two seasons, before winning the Swiss League championship again in 2010. During the 2010–11 season, the Tigers would play in the 2010–11 FIBA EuroChallenge tournament, on their way to winning the Swiss national championship, Swiss Cup, and the Swiss League Cup.
