The 2014 NBL season was the 33rd season of the National Basketball League.[1] The Canterbury Rams returned to the league in 2014 after a five-year hiatus.
The 2014 pre-season tournament was held at the Te Rauparaha Arena in Porirua on Saturday 22 March and Sunday 23 March.[2] The Manawatu Jets were the only team to go undefeated over the two days, finishing with a 4–0 record.[3][4]
In 2014, the NBL Final Four made a triumphant return to Wellington. The Final Four weekend was held at TSB Bank Arena, with the semifinals on Friday 4 July, followed by the championship game on Saturday 5 July.[5]
