History
CB Ciudad de Ponferrada was founded in 2002 with the aim to replace the former team JT, that ceased in activity. The club started playing in the fifth tier and five years later, achieved their first promotion to Liga EBA. However, Ciudad de Ponferrada could not remain in the league EBA and was relegated again.
After some years between regional and provincial leagues, in 2013 the club failed to promote again in the final stage played in Ponferrada. However, two years later, Ciudad de Ponferrada achieved a vacant berth in the league EBA.
On 18 May 2019, Ciudad de Ponferrada achieved promotion to LEB Plata, tier three after leading the group A-B and finishing unbeaten in the final stage.
Ponferrada rozgrywa swoje mecze domowe w Pabellón Lydia Valentín. Halę ukończono w 2018 roku, aby zastąpić starą halę El Toralín.
Największym sukcesem Ponferrady było wygranie LEB Plata w sezonie 2007-08. Klub awansował do LEB Oro, drugiej ligi hiszpańskiej koszykówki, ale spadł z powrotem do LEB Plata po jednym sezonie.
Znani zawodnicy, którzy grali w Ponferradzie, to między innymi Juanjo Triguero, Guillermo García i Edu Martínez.
