The Sydney Storm, originaly Sydney Blues were a team in the now defunct Australian Baseball League. In their last season, the Storm had their best Championship finishing 2nd, going down to the Gold Coast Cougars in the Championship Series.

The Storm were formed for the 1992-93 ABL Championship as the Sydney Blues after purchasing the licence of the Parramatta Patriots. The team was re-branded the Sydney Storm for the 1996-97 Championships after Cricket NSW took legal action of the team being called the "Blues" which was the same name as their state cricket team used.
