The Tasmania JackJumpers are the 10th and newest Professional Basketball Team in the National Basketball League.
As Tasmania's long-awaited NBL team, the JackJumpers are putting Tasmania back on the national - and world - sporting stage.
In everything we do, we represent the state with pride. On the court, in the stands and in the community.
The Tasmania JackJumpers were established in 2021 as part of a league expansion.
They won their maiden NBL Championship in the 2023-24 season.
Known for their "Defend the Island" mantra, the team has established a strong community-driven, competitive culture.
In 2025, Altor Capital was welcomed as new majority owners, opening a new era following their early championship success.
Jack Jumpers (ant)
Native to Australia, and found most commonly in the southeast of the mainland, as well as Tasmania, the jack jumper ant (Myrmecia pilosula) is named for the enthusiastic jumping behaviour it displays when agitated. It's also known to hop from one high place to another, propelling itself with its incredibly strong - and tiny - legs.
