South East Australian Basketball League

The SEABL was first introduced as the South Eastern Basketball League (SEBL) in 1981, with the long-standing South and East conferences later established in 1986.[1] In 1988, the SEBL was renamed the South East Australian Basketball League, and in 1990, a women's competition was introduced.[2] In 1992, the SEABL was renamed the Continental Basketball Association (CBA). The early history of the SEABL and what became known as the Australian Basketball Association (ABA) was one in the same between 1981 and 1993, prior to the CBA's introduction of a North conference from Queensland in 1994. By 2001, the ABA had six conferences, and in 2002, the South and East conferences became known as the South East Australian Basketball League again.[3] Season 2008 marked the final year of the long-standing ABA National Finals series, with the ABA ceasing operations in 2009 and leaving the SEABL as an independent league. In 2012, the women's competition was divided into two conferences for the first time.[4]

After 32 seasons (1986–2017) of South and East conferences, the SEABL merged the two conferences in both the men's and women's competitions in 2018. Following the 2018 season, the SEABL was disbanded in favour of a new Victorian-based competition known as NBL1.[5]
