List of New Zealand NBL champions

Below is a list of the New Zealand National Basketball League (NBL) champions. The NBL's championship round has predominately been a one-game decider, with the exception being 1995–97 and 2007–10 when a best-of-three finals series was used. The Wellington Saints have won a league-best 11 championships, and with their 19 appearances in the championship round as of 2019, they have competed for exactly half of the league's championships in its 38-year history.
