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.
The JackJumpers will play their home games at the Derwent Entertainment Centre, which has a seating capacity of 5,400. The team's colors are black, gold, and white, with a logo featuring a stylized Jack Jumper ant.
The JackJumpers have assembled a roster of talented players, including American imports Josh Adams and Travis Trice, as well as Australian players Sam McDaniel and Jack McVeigh. The team is coached by Scott Roth, who has extensive experience coaching in the NBA and overseas.
The JackJumpers are expected to bring a new level of excitement to the NBL, with their aggressive style of play and passionate fan base. As the only team based in Tasmania, they will represent the state and its basketball community on a national stage.
