Basketball fans are in for an unforgettable showcase as the Trans-Tasman Throwdown makes its debut, pitting Australia against New Zealand in an electrifying series and reigniting one of sports fiercest rivalries. The Boomers will take on the Tall Blacks whilst the Opals will go up against the 2degrees Tall Ferns across three games in both countries.

The series will see Australia and New Zealand’s basketball sides descend on Adelaide and the Sunshine Coast, culminating in the final game across the Tasman in Kirikiriroa (Hamilton) on Sunday, May 11.

This series marks a fantastic opportunity for basketball fans across Australia and New Zealand to see their national sides live in action with this being the first time the Boomers have played the Tall Blacks in Australia since 2021 and close to ten years since the Tall Blacks hosted the Boomers in New Zealand.

For the Opals and 2degrees Tall Ferns, the Australians edged out New Zealand in the bronze medal match of the 2023 FIBA Women’s Asia Cup in Sydney. Since then, they have not played one another in New Zealand since 2015, and the 2degrees Tall Ferns have not played at home in over five years.  

Don't miss your shot to see basketball history unfold at GLOBOX Arena, Claudelands.
