The Adriatic League, currently known as the NLB League (previously Goodyear Adriatic League), is a top-level basketball league that features teams from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Slovenia, all of which are former republics of SFR Yugoslavia.
The league exists alongside domestic leagues in each country; all of its teams play in their country's own competitions as well as the Adriatic League. The Adriatic Basketball Association which organizes the league is a full member of ULEB and a voting member of the Euroleague board, so this league can be considered as a local version of the Europe-wide Euroleague, in which many Adriatic League clubs also compete.
This league has inspired a similar competition in the Baltic states, the Baltic Basketball League or Baltic League.
