The Tasmania JackJumpers are an Australian professional basketball team based in Hobart, Tasmania, who entered the National Basketball League (NBL) in the 2021–22 season, and play their home games at MyState Bank Arena and the Silverdome.[1] The team is named after the Jack Jumper Ant, a species of venomous ant predominantly found on the island state.

Franchise history[]

In February 2019, the National Basketball League (NBL) indicated that Tasmania was on the league's future expansion radar.[2] Twelve months later, it was revealed that Tasmania had secured an NBL license and a team would enter the league in the 2021–22 season.[3]

On 1 October 2020, the team name was revealed as the Tasmania JackJumpers.[4] On the eve of the team's first NBL game, Tasmanian band Luca Brasi released "Jackies Are On the March", an original theme for the team.[5]

In their NBL debut on 3 December 2021, the JackJumpers defeated the Brisbane Bullets 83–74 in overtime at MyState Bank Arena in Hobart.[6]

Home arena[]

The JackJumpers are headquartered, train, and will play most of their home games at MyState Bank Arena,[7] located in Glenorchy, part of the metropolitan Hobart region.[8] The Silverdome, located in Launceston, will also host a minimum of two home games a year.[9]
