BC Neptūnas-Akvaservis is a professional Lithuanian basketball club from Klaipėda, Lithuania competing in the National Basketball League (NKL). The club's establishment dates to 1987, when the Klaipėdos Viesulas was set up.

In 1996, the club was renamed BC Universitetas-Irvinga to memorialize this change. Over the course of following years, the organization underwent several name changes reflecting change of sponsorship partnerships.
