History
The Big V Conference was established in 2000 and joined the Australian Basketball Association (ABA).[1] The ABA ceased operations following the 2008 season, resulting in the Big V becoming independent.[2]
The 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4][5] The 2021 season was abandoned mid-season due to the pandemic.[6][7]
As of 2025, the league's premier divisions are Championship Men and Championship Women. The Big V also has Division One and Division Two as well as a number of youth divisions.[8][9]
