Værløse Basketball Klub (VBBK), is a Danish basketball club based in Værløse. The club was founded in 1972 and consists of many teams from youth to senior for all age groups. Their elite teams are better known as Værløse Blue Hawks and their mens team plays in the Basketligaen, which it rejoined in the 2018–19 season.
The club is known for its talent development in players as well as coaches. They prioritise youth players in their senior teams and give good opportunities for their young coaches. Many members of the club have played professionally and received scholarships to great universities in the US.
Their mens team, Værløse Blue Hawks, has one of the smallest budgets in the league but stay competitive by having mainly young Danish players and Danish coaches.
VBBK won the national championship for men in 1996, 2002 (Værløse/Farum) and 2003 (BF Copenhagen).
Before the start of the 2019-20 season, the mens team changed its name to Værløse Blue Hawks for branding purposes.
