History
Basketball was first introduced in a school yard of St. Vincent's C.B.S. by Brother O'Farrell in 1958. The sport took off in 1961, and in September 1962, St. Vincent's Basketball Club registered with the ABBA. With the creation of the Irish National League in 1973, St. Vincent's quickly rose to prominence by the late 1970s with back-to-back titles in 1978–79 and 1979–80. The team won two more championships in 1993–94 and 2005–06. The team also won National Cup titles in 1984, 1993 and 1994.
For the 2000–01 season, the team was known as O'Hagan Saints. For the 2002–03 season, the team was known as Irish Travel Partner Saints. Then between 2004 and 2006, the team donned they name of Roma St. Vincent's. The team became known as DCU Saints for the 2007–08 season after moving out of the gymnasium of St. Vincent's C.B.S. and into the Dublin City University Sports Complex.
