Wikipedia - Tasmania JackJumpers

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. The team is named after the jack jumper ant, a species of venomous ant predominantly found in the island state. The JackJumpers won their maiden NBL championship in 2024.

History

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

On 1 October 2020, the team name was revealed as the Tasmania JackJumpers. 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.

In their NBL debut on 3 December 2021, the JackJumpers defeated the Brisbane Bullets 83–74 in overtime at MyState Bank Arena in Hobart. The JackJumpers finished the regular season in fourth place with a 17–11 record and faced the first-placed Melbourne United in the semi-finals, where they defeated United 2–1 to advance to the NBL Grand Final series. They ultimately lost 3–0 in the grand final to the Sydney Kings.

In the 2023–24 NBL season, the JackJumpers returned to the NBL Grand Final series with a 2–1 semi-finals series victory over the Perth Wildcats. They went on to win their maiden NBL championship with a 3–2 grand final series victory over Melbourne United, becoming the first Tasmanian NBL champions since Launceston Casino City in 1981.

As NBL champions, the JackJumpers competed in the 2024 FIBA Intercontinental Cup, becoming the first team from Oceania to play in the FIBA Intercontinental Cup. Tasmania finished third, after defeating Al Riyadi from Lebanon in the third place game.

In the 2024–25 NBL season, the JackJumpers started with a 3–8 record and went on to miss the top six on percentage at 13–16.

In February 2025, NBL owner Larry Kestelman sold the JackJumpers to a private capital firm, Altor Capital.

In August 2025 it was announced that the JackJumpers had secured the next expansion license for the Women's National Basketball League, with the intention to establish a women's team (with a different name and branding) to commence playing in the 2026–27 WNBL season. They will share facilities with the men's team in Hobart, and also intend to play at least half of their matches in the north of the state.

The Tasmania JackJumpers are a professional basketball team based in Tasmania, Australia, competing in the National Basketball League (NBL). Established in 2021, the team quickly gained recognition for their competitive spirit and passionate fan base. Named after the iconic Jack Jumper ant native to Tasmania, the team embodies resilience, agility, and determination. The JackJumpers aim to promote basketball in Tasmania and foster local talent, contributing to the growth of the sport in Australia. With a talented roster and dedicated coaching staff, the Tasmania JackJumpers are committed to making a strong impact in the NBL and representing their community with pride.
