NBL1

The NBL1 North formerly the Queensland Basketball League  (QBL) is a semi professional basketball league in Queensland and Northern Territory Australia comprising both a Men’s and Women’s competition.  In 2020 Basketball Queensland partnered with the National Basketball league (NBL) to bring NBL1 to Queensland.  NBL1 replaced the former QBL to create more professional pathways and opportunities for males and females playing basketball in Queensland.  As a result, the QBL became the north conference of NBL1.    Gold Coast Basketball has two teams  (Men and Women) within the NBL1 North competition.  These teams not only provide high quality elite basketball entertainment for the Gold Coast community but also represents Gold Coast Basketball’s elite player pathway.
