ŽKK RMU Banovići is a professional women's basketball club based in Banovići, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The club was originally founded in 1974 and was officially re-registered in 1996.[2] The team competes in the Bosnia and Herzegovina Women's Basketball Championship, the country's top-tier league for women's basketball. ŽKK RMU Banovići plays its home games at the Sports and Cultural Center (SKC) Banovići, a local indoor arena that serves as the club's base for both domestic competitions and regional tournaments.

The club has achieved significant success in recent years, establishing itself as one of the leading women's basketball teams in the country. Among its most notable accomplishments are three national championship titles and two Bosnia and Herzegovina Cup victories. A historic highlight came in the 2017–18 season, when the team went undefeated throughout the campaign and won both the national league and the national cup—an achievement that earned the club the recognition of Sports Club of the Year in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2018.[3]

ŽKK RMU Banovići has also participated in the Adriatic (WABA) League, where it has competed against top teams from across the region, including clubs from Serbia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Croatia. The club reached the WABA League SuperLeague stage in the 2021–22 season and recently competed in the inaugural WABA League 2 during the 2024–25 season.[4]

The club receives sponsorship from Meridianbet, which became an official partner of ŽKK RMU Banovići in 2022.[5]
