The Conference Basketball League (CBL) was a second-tiered men's semi-professional basketball league in New Zealand. During the 1980s and 1990s, the CBL served as a means of promotion and relegation between the National Basketball League (NBL). By the 2000s, it served as a means for associations to enter representative teams into a national division two competition. The CBL also served as a feeder league for development or academy squads of NBL teams.

History

[edit]

The Conference Basketball League (CBL) ran every year between 1981 and 2008,[1] and consisted of multiple conferences throughout its lifetime, including northern, capital, central, and southern.[2] From seven teams in 1996, the CBL grew to 25 teams spread over four conferences in 1999.[3][4] The challenges facing the league by the late 2000s were similar to the national women's league, namely finding a format that teams could economically support.[5] Basketball New Zealand chose not to host the CBL in 2009,[6] before bringing it back in a one-off, five-day tournament in 2010.[1][5][7]

CBL Zone 1

[edit]

In 2009, North Harbour Basketball Association took on the responsibility of hosting the Conference Basketball League in the Auckland Region. The competition was predominantly run on the North Shore and was a zone 1 competition.[6] The league was rebranded as the Supercity Basketball Competition in 2010,[8][9] and then as the Senior Intercity Competition in 2011 and 2012,[10][11] although it was still colloquially known during this time as the Conference Basketball League.[12][13]
