It has served as the home court for Žalgiris basketball club, competing in the Euroleague and the LKL League till the middle of 2011.

[1][2] Since its establishment, the Kaunas Sports Hall is situated in close proximity to the Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education and the S. Darius and S. Girėnas Stadium, adjacent to the Ąžuolynas Park.

In August 2011 a larger and much more modern Žalgiris Arena has been opened in Kaunas, as Lithuania was hosting the 37th European Basketball Championship.

The Kaunas Sports Hall will long be remembered as the arena where the Lithuanian national basketball team won their consecutive Gold medal at the Eurobasket 1939.

During the reconstruction of the sports hall, the facade, roof and supporting structures were repaired, all engineering networks and premises were renovated.

The renovated multifunctional spaces, depending on the nature of the event and the layout of the hall, will accommodate 1-2.5 thousand people at a time.
