The first season was played in 1991, and was won by [[BC Dinamo Tbilisi|Dinamo Tbilisi]]. The 1990s were dominated by [[BC Vita Tbilisi]], who won the title a record 7 times. [[BC Batumi]], and then [[Energy Invest Rustavi]], dominated the following decade. More recently, the league was dominated by clubs attached to State departments, with first [[BC Armia]] [[Ministry of Defense (Georgia)|(Ministry of Defense)]] establishing themselves as the country's leading club, and later [[BC MIA Academy]][[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Georgia)|(Ministry of Internal Affairs)]] winning the title.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://gbf.ge/content.php?m=men |title="Past results (in Georgian)" |access-date=2013-11-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160623203222/http://www.gbf.ge/content.php?m=men |archive-date=2016-06-23 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
2013/14 was the first season when none of the country's universities were represented in the Superliga. This followed the decision by the [[Ministry of Education and Science (Georgia)|Ministry of Education]] to withdraw funding from professional sports teams.<ref>[http://worldsport.ge/ge/page/tsu-s-stu-sa-da-tssu-s-gundebi-mtavrobisgan-dafinansebas-itxoven "თსუ-ს, სტუ-სა და თსსუ-ს გუნდები მთავრობისგან დაფინანსებას ითხოვენ (in Georgian)"]</ref> That season saw Dinamo Tbilisi regain the title in a convincing manner, only to lose it the following year to a rejuvenated [[BC MIA Academy]] side.
The 2014/15 season saw the introduction of a second tier in Georgian basketball, called the A-League (A-Liga). Thus, for the first time, teams at the bottom of the Superliga were in danger of losing their top-tier status through relegation play-offs. It was then announced that from the 2015/16 season, the club finishing bottom of the Superliga will automatically get relegated to the A-Liga.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://a-league.ge/ge/news/?uin=3175 |title=Სუპერლიგა – სიახლე |access-date=2015-06-09 |archive-date=2016-03-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303224913/http://a-league.ge/ge/news/?uin=3175 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
