Alpe Adria Cup (AAC) is a basketball competition in the Alpe-Adria region and will organise clubs from four countries, namely Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Slovakia. The competition goal is to provide international competitive experience to smaller clubs so they can improve their performance. It is played under the rules of FIBA.

2015–16 season

36 games were played between September 29, 2015 and the beginning of March 2016.[1] The clubs will be split in two groups (A and B). Teams from the same country were separated in different groups. All teams qualified for the play off, where top teams from each group will face bottom teams from the other group (A1 faced B4, A2-B3, B1-A4 and B2-A3) in a double-log playoff in order to qualify for the Final Four. The Final Four to determine the winner of the competition was held in Domžale, Slovenia.
