Team history
The Waitemata Dolphins were a foundation member of the National Basketball League (NBL) in 1982.[1] They were runners-up in the league's inaugural season before finishing fourth in 1983.[2] They subsequently withdrew from the NBL, and in 1985, they finished second in the Northern Conference of the second-tiered Conference Basketball League (CBL).[3] After winning the CBL championship in 1987, Waitemata returned to the NBL for the 1988 season. They finished seventh in 1988 and ninth in 1989.[2][4]
Following the creation of Waitakere City in 1989 by the amalgamation of Waitemata City with a number of neighbouring boroughs,[5] the Waitakere Rangers joined the NBL in 1990.
