History

During the 2004–05 CBA season, the Xinjiang Flying Tigers finished in third place in the North Division, but lost in the quarter-finals of the CBA Playoffs to the South Division's Jiangsu Dragons. In the 2005–06 CBA season, they finished in second place in the North Division, but were again eliminated by Jiangsu in the quarter-finals.
Xinjiang's success in recent years has been highlighted by three straight trips to the CBA Finals at the end of the 2008–09 CBA season, 2009–10 CBA season, and 2010–11 CBA season, as well as another appearance in the championship series following the 2013–14 CBA season. The Flying Tigers failed to win the title on all four occasions. The team won their first CBA title in the 2016–17 CBA season, after defeating Guangdong Southern Tigers 4–0 in the finals.
