Founded in 1954 as
Duomo Folgore, it remained in obscurity for the first few decades of its existence though it did reach the first division
Lega Basket Serie A in 1962. However the club only stayed there one season, finishing the league in last place, after which it was hampered by financial problems. Duomo Folgore was renamed
Associazione Pallacanestro Treviso sometime during the 1970s, with new ownership. It then moved up the divisions, reaching the national
Serie A2 in 1979. In 1980-81 the team finished third in the league, earning a return to the Serie A. The
Benetton Group started sponsoring the club during the 1981-82 season, which ended with a relegation to the A2. The following year, Benetton would become the majority owners of Pallacanestro Treviso, moving into the newly constructed
PalaVerde, owned and financed by the family. Well-wishers such as former players
Paolo Vazzoler and Pittis tried to rouse support for a new club, Treviso Basket 2012. However their application to take Benetton Basket's place in the Serie A was rejected. Since then Benetton Basket has focused only on youth development, with the Under 17 squad their most senior. ==Honours==
