The Southern Hoiho are a New Zealand basketball team based in Dunedin, New Zealand, currently competing in the Tauihi Basketball Aotearoa. Their home arena is the Edgar Centre.

Team history

[edit | edit source]

The Hoiho were one of the founding teams of Tauihi Basketball Aotearoa upon its conception in 2022.[1] Originally playing games in both Dunedin and Queenstown during their first two seasons, the team now plays solely in Dunedin.[2] Originally owned by Sports Entertainment Network (SEN), who were also the owners of the Hoiho's brother team the Otago Nuggets, the team underwent a management change in 2025, and are now owned by a local group.[3][4]

A poor first season saw them missing out on the inaugural Final 4 with a 1–11 record to place them firmly as the wooden spoon for 2022.[5] However, the 2023 season saw improvement, with the team's 7–5 record good enough for third place and a spot in the Final 4, where they lost in the semi-finals to the Tokomanawa Queens and then in the third place match to the Tauranga Whai, ending fourth overall.[6] The 2024 season saw them bottom of the table once more with a 3–9 record and once again missing out on the Final 4.[7]
