Story

The SKY Sport Breakers roared into life on October 1 2003, defeating the Adelaide36ers by a single point in front of a sold out North Shore Events Centre. Professional basketball had hit New Zealand, with entertainment, action and excitement of the NBA now a weekly experience in Auckland.

Over the 14 years of the club's history the Breakers have established themselves as a club who do things differently - the club values of One Team + Courage + Integrity = Champions are emblazoned on the wall of the Breakers' training facility and is the glue that binds the club together. "Team is Everything" is the slogan that the club lives by , and the unselfish , do-it-for-team attitude has become the club's playing style and image.

We are the only team from outside of Australia to compete in the National Basketball League. In 2011 the Breakers won their first NBL championship title, becoming the first New Zealand first-grade team in any sport to win an Australian-based sporting championship. They then defended this title in 2012 and 2013 making them 3-time ANBL Champions.

The club’s commitment to on court success is reflected in its active role in the community, with thousands of basketballs and coaching manuals distributed every year into local schools, and the Breakers Atlas Place home base being filled every day by the next generation of future Breakers.

Every member, every sponsor and every fan is part of the team, and part of our family. We are proud to represent you both on the court and in all the work we do in the community as part of the Breakers club, and hope that you are just as proud to be part of the Breakers too.

Thank you for your support, your noise, your passion – we plan on repaying it with sweat, effort and success in the 2017-18 season.
