Basketball Australia is a leading brand in the global basketball community, dedicated to promoting and developing the sport in Australia. With over a century of history, our organization has displayed passion, dedication, and growth. Basketball gained popularity in the late 19th century, and in 1939, Basketball Australia was established as the governing body.

Our national teams, the Boomers and Opals, have achieved international recognition and success, including multiple Olympic medals. The emergence of professional leagues in the 1980s has propelled the sport's commercial growth and increased interest. Australia's ability to organize major events was showcased when we hosted the FIBA Basketball World Cup in 1988.

To nurture talent and foster grassroots growth, Basketball Australia has implemented various development programs and championships. In recent years, Australian basketball has risen to prominence globally, with remarkable achievements in major tournaments and success in the NBA and WNBA. Moving forward, Basketball Australia aims to expand opportunities, promote inclusivity, and shape the future of basketball in Australia through partnerships, community engagement, and innovation.
