Founded in 1984, the Mountainairs have been a staple of the national league, with team colors of blue, white, and silver. The franchise has seen various ownership groups over the years and is currently led by a dedicated local board. The team was formed to bring top-level basketball to the Taranaki province. Their name, "Mountainairs," poetically combines the region's dominant geographical feature with a sense of elevation and speed. Early years were spent building a competitive foundation in the league.
