It competes in the A-2 Hrvatska Liga, the second highest basketball league in Croatia.

==History== The club was founded in 2010 by a merger of two clubs from [[Rijeka]], '''KK Torpedo''' and '''KK Jadran'''.

Although they share the same name and much of the legacy, the new club is not to be confused with the old Kvarner. The original [[KK Kvarner]] was founded in 1946, and its greatest success was the final of the [[Yugoslav Basketball Cup]] in 1976–77 and 1980–81. Historically, the club played in the [[Yugoslav First Federal Basketball League|Yugoslav First Basketball League]] for six seasons in total: in 1974–75, 1976–79, 1980–81 and 1982–83. Their top finish was eighth in 1976–77. During its history, the club has changed its name to ''Istravino'', ''Croatia Line'', ''Sava Osiguranje'' and ''Triglav Osiguranje''. The club finished third in 2000–01 season and fourth in the 2001–02 season of Croatia's [[A-1 Liga]], and participated in the inaugural [[2001–02 ABA Goodyear League|season]] of the regional [[ABA League]]. The original Kvarner produced some well known Croatian basketball players, including the [[1992 Summer Olympics]] silver medalist [[Aramis Naglić]], [[Davor Kus]], [[Fran Pilepić]], [[Ivo Nakić]] and [[Marino Baždarić]]. In the last several years of its history, the club was called ''Kvarner Novi Resort''. In 2009, the original Kvarner ceased functioning due to high debt that could not be serviced.<ref>[http://kosarka.org/main.asp?dir=news&newsid=28607 Kosarka.org]</ref>
