History

In 1939, the National Federation of Basketball was formed, which later became known as the Amateur Basketball Union of Australia. This body did not become fully effective until 1946, when the first Australian Championships were held. The organisation eventually changed its name to the Australian Basketball Federation. In 1949, Australia became the fifty-second affiliated member of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). The Basketball Australia trading name was registered in 1996.
