Club history

Ringwood Basketball Association (RBA) was founded in 1990, with a men's team debuting in the Country Victorian Invitation Basketball League (CVIBL) that year followed by a women's team in 1991.[1] In 1999, the men's team won the VBL Division One championship.

The Hawks were inaugural members of the Big V Championship Men's division in 2000, with the women's team joining Big V Championship Women in 2003.[2] In 2009 and 2010, the men's team finished as Big V runners-up.[3] [4] In 2012, the men's team won their first Big V championship. After a runner-up finish in 2013,[5] the men went on to win titles in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018. For the women, they played in four straight grand final series between 2013 and 2016,[6] [7] [8] [9] winning their maiden Big V championship in 2015.

In 2019, the Hawks joined the NBL1 for its inaugural season.[10] [11] The NBL1 South season did not go ahead in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[12] In the 2022 NBL1 season, the Hawks women won the NBL1 South championship[13] and reached the grand final of the NBL1 National Finals.
