Queensland Australian Basketball League

The Queensland Basketball League, often abbreviated to the QBL, is a conference of the Australian Basketball Association (ABA). The QBL was previously broken into two divisions, the Sunstate Division and the Southern Cross Division. It is used as a development league for Queensland teams competing in the National Basketball League.

The league was formed in 1986 as the Queensland State Basketball League and in 1994 merged with the South and East conference of the SEABL to form the North conference of the Continental Basketball Association. This was renamed the Australian Basketball Association in 2000 with the addition of the Big V, CABL and Waratah League. In 2007 the Sunstate and Southern Cross Divisions merged for form a single QBL competition, with a Southern Queensland Development League also running.
