NATIONALS 2025

 BBNZ Nationals in the last few years have provided North Canterbury Basketball with some awesome highlights such as a 4th place finish for our U17 Girls (now called U18) in 2022 &  then hosting the U20 Nationals in Rangiora for the past three years and most recently in 2023 the U15 Boys (now called U16) team finished 8th.

NCBA are looking forward to the 2025 National Tournaments season.

• U16 Nationals - July 8th - 11th - Whanganui-a-Tara-  Ākau Tangi Sports Centre, Wellington
