Basketball Northern Ireland (also known as Ulster Basketball Association) is the governing body for basketball in Northern Ireland.[1] The association, which is affiliated with Basketball Ireland, is the "area board" with responsibility for the promotion, development and administration of all basketball activities in Northern Ireland.[2][3] The organisation, also known as "Basketball NI", has previously coordinated with other groups in Northern Ireland, including Netball NI.[4]
Basketball Northern Ireland governs the representation of Northern Irish players representing Northern Ireland only in Commonwealth Games. The senior 3x3 teams played their first matches in the Home Nations Qualifier for the 2022 Commonwealth Games.[5][6]
