After its foundation in 1946^[1] the team was only able to achieve national success in 1980. In the 90s Kumanovo team qualified for the Korac Cup 1998/99, in which they lost a two-legged home game against KK Krka as well as two years later in the same competition against the BK Jambol. A season later, they also moved into the 2002 play-off final series for the Macedonian championship, in which they lost two to four wins against record champions and defending champion Feršped Rabotnički from the capital Skopje. Already in the following season the team could not keep up due to financial difficulties and occupied a relegation zone and dissolved in 2003.

In 2009 the club was renewed and returned under the name Kumanovo 2009 in the 2010/11 season to the Macedonian First League. After being re-established in the top division, the first successes were achieved when one reached the cup final in 2013, which was lost to defending champion and champion KK MZT Skopje, and on the other hand in the supranational Balkan League when it participated for the first time reached the Final Four tournament, in which they lost to the title holder Hapoel Gilboa Galil in the semi-finals. With the following participation, the team in the Balkan League 2014 in the quarter-finals against the later title winner Lewski Sofia and also achieved no chances of winning the title in national competitions. This was to change in the 2014/15 season, when the team beat record champion Rabotnički in the play-off semi-final of the championship after beating Rilski Sportist Samokov in the quarterfinals of the Balkan League. In the final series, however, they lost in three games against defending champion KK MZT Aerodrom. For the 2015/16 season, the team registered for the FIBA Europe Cup 2015/16 and refrained from further participation in the Balkan League. In the continental club competition, in six preliminary round matches, it was only enough for one home win against Kotkan TP-Basket. In the national championship play-offs, the third round of the semifinals was still played in five games and, in the final series, they were able to achieve at least one home win against series master MZT before losing another chance of winning the title in four games.

In the following years, Kumanovo had financial problems, and young domestic players mostly played in the club. In the 2020/2021 season, the club played in the semi-finals of the Macedonian Championship, where they lost 2-1 to the then champion MZT Skopje. In the 2022/2023 season, the club dropped out of the first league after 15 years. After a season where there was no club in the first league, Kumanovo got a new first league club, MKK Kumanovo, which is the successor of the old club. And after many years, the Kumani fan group returned to the stands.
