The 2026 State Cup concluded over the weekend, highlighting the exceptional standard of basketball across New South Wales.
Throughout the competition, teams competed for State Cup honours in their respective divisions. Basketball NSW extends its sincere appreciation to the coaches, managers, technical officials, referees, volunteers and delegates whose dedication were instrumental in the successful delivery of the event.
We also acknowledge and thank Orange Basketball Association and Bathurst Basketball Association, along with the host venues, for their outstanding efforts in delivering the 2026 State Cup. The Under 12 and Under 14 competitions were held in Orange at Sir Neville Howse Stadium, while the Under 16 and Under 18 competitions were held at Bathurst Indoor Sports Stadium.
Their organisation and hospitality ensured a positive experience for all athletes, officials and spectators throughout the weekend.
