History

Winner Limeira was founded in 2001, with the intention of rescuing club basketball in Limeira, and competing for both state and national titles. In its first year, Limeira won the second division of the State Championship and the Regional Games. Over the following eight years, Limeira won the Regional Games, and also won its first Brazilian championship, which was named the Nossa Liga de Basquete, in 2006.

In the club's first NBB season, was the 2009 NBB season. In that season, with a core group of players consisting of Nezinho dos Santos, Betinho Duarte, Shamell Stallworth, Guilherme Teichmann, and Bruno Fiorotto, they finished in fifth place in the league, after being defeated by Joinville. Limeira did not participate in the second season of the NBB.

In the following two seasons, Limeira had similar campaigns, finishing in ninth place.[1] In the 2014 FIBA South American League, Limeira advanced from the preliminary round, with two wins and one loss, but only won one out of three games in the semifinals.[2]
