In its existence, Landstede has been the runner-up of the DBL three times. In 2017, the club captured its first trophy when it won the Dutch Supercup. Two years later, Landstede won its first DBL championship in the 2018–19 season.

History

The club was founded as Cees Lubbers/The Hammers and was based in Meppel in the first season of the club. The club played with the license of Red Giants Meppel, and moved to Zwolle, partly because arena 'Het Vledder' in Meppel didn't meet requirements.[1] After a short time Landstede became the main sponsor of the club, that was named Landstede Hammers and later Landstede Basketbal. In the 2004–05 season Landstede reached the Dutch Finals for the first time in club history. It lost 4–0 to Amsterdam. In 2010 the club got a new arena in the Landstede Sportcentrum.

In 2017, Landstede won its first trophy in team history by winning the Dutch Supercup over Donar, winning 77–69.[2]

In the 2018–19 season, Landstede finished in the second place in the regular season. The team had a 28–6 record in the regular season, and had All-DBL Team performers Noah Dahlman and Kaza Kajami-Keane on its roster. In the playoffs, Landstede defeated New Heroes Den Bosch 1–3 in the semi-finals. In the finals, Landstede beat defending champions Donar to win its first domestic championship.[3]

On 22 September 2019, Hammers won its second Supercup trophy after beating ZZ Leiden 78–66 in its home arena.[4] In the 2019–20 season, Landstede played in the FIBA Europe Cup, which marked the club's first European appearance in 19 years.[5] On 19 August 2019, the club announced they returned to the name Landstede Hammers.[6] In its first FIBA Europe Cup season, Landstede advanced past the regular season before losing six straight games in the second round.
