List of New Zealand NBL champions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below is a list of the New Zealand National Basketball League (NBL) champions. The NBL's championship round has predominately been a one-game decider, with the exception being 1995–97 and 2007–10 when a best-of-three finals series was used. The Wellington Saints have won a league-best 12 championships, and with their 20 appearances in the championship round as of 2021, they have competed for exactly half of the league's championships in its 40-year history.
