Al Riyadi Club was founded in 1934 by Hussein Sejaan, Hassan Ladki, Fouad Zantout, Youssef Shaker, Mustafa Shaker, Zouheir Yatim, Helmi Chehab, and Wafic Nsouli, who formed the first basketball team.
The team played its first game against a foreign team in 1947, when Al Riyadi faced Turkish club Galatasaray, and lost the game 33–39. The game was attended by the first President of Lebanon Bechara El Khoury.
Al Riyadi launched its first women's basketball team in 1965. The club built its own sports arena, the Saeb Salam Arena, in 1991, helped by former President Tammam Salam.
In the 2023–24 season, Al Riyadi secured their 31st Lebanese league championship, their first FIBA West Asia Super League title, and their third Asian continental title by winning the 2024 Basketball Champions League Asia. As champions, they qualified directly for the 2024 FIBA Intercontinental Cup, making them the first Lebanese team to compete in the tournament.
