BV Den Helder, also known as Den Helder Suns, is a Dutch women's basketball club based in Den Helder. Established in 1983, it plays in the Women's Basketball League (WBL). The club has won sixteen national championships.

History

The club was founded in 1983. Before, there was a team as part of BV Noordkop, however the ladies team decided to establish a separate club to further its ambitions. Since then, the team has played in the Dames Eredivisie.

Since the 2021–22 season, the team plays as Den Helder Suns, adopting the same name as the men's professional team from Den Helder. The organisations stayed separated from each other.
