History: Became the first Irish Basketball Club to pay American imports to play in 1979, which was against the rules of the Amateur Basketball Association of Ireland, but when the Association saw how many fans it was bringing in, they changed the rules allowing two paid imports per National League team, changing the name of the organisation to the Irish Basketball Association to reflect this. This decision by St. Vincent’s and the IBA ushered in the Golden Era of Irish Basketball which lasted until 1991.

They won the League that season (1979-80) as well as the Top 4 Playoffs, and competed at or near the top for the next four seasons, reaching the top four playoffs each year from 1979-80 to 1983-84 and winning the League and Playoffs again in 1981-82. In 1984-85 they were relegated finishing second last in Division 1. Their last season in the National League was in 1986-87 where they finished joint last in Division 2.

They have an important place in Irish Basketball history, and set the standard for all Killarney and Kerry Basketball teams to follow.
