The Everton Tigers was officially presented as the 13th member of the British Basketball League on June 19, 2007, after a professional basketball franchise was awarded to the City of Liverpool by the league.

The club is part Bill Kenwright's Everton FC organisation, who became the sixth football club in the history of British basketball to field a basketball team, following in the footsteps of Manchester United, Leicester City (Now Leicester Riders), Glasgow Rangers, Portsmouth and Newcastle United (Now Newcastle Eagles).

Based around the community work of Everton and existing community basketball club Toxteth Tigers, the new club have specifically targeted youth development as one of the main goal's, while the BBL senior team will be headed by Toxteth coach Henry Mooney.
