Team Info

The New Zealand national basketball team, nicknamed the "Tall Blacks," is the premier men's basketball representative of the island nation and a consistent force in the Oceania region. Governed by Basketball New Zealand, the team's home games are played in venues across Auckland and Wellington. While often competing in the shadow of their trans-Tasman rivals, Australia, the Tall Blacks have carved out a proud history, most famously finishing fourth at the 2002 FIBA World Championship, a legendary campaign led by coach Tab Baldwin and star guard Kirk Penney. That team's gritty, team-oriented defense and clutch shooting captured the nation's imagination. In recent years, the team continues to compete valiantly in FIBA Asia Cup and World Cup qualifying, relying on a blend of local talent and players with professional experience abroad. The Tall Blacks' culture is built on a classic "Kiwi" ethos of hard work, humility, and punching above their weight, earning them deep affection from New Zealand sports fans.
