Club history
Logan Basketball Inc. was established in July 1998,[1][2] and by the mid-2000s, senior representative teams were competing in the Southern Cross Cup.[3] In 2006, the Thunder entered the Queensland Basketball League (QBL), fielding both a men's and women's team. However, the club withdrew from the league following the 2008 season.[4]
In September 2014, plans were made to bring the club back to life.[5] Following 2008, Logan Basketball Inc. were unable to fund a state-league program due to all resources being used by the Logan Thunder WNBL team. In the wake of the collapse of the WNBL team, a QBL club was able to resurface for the 2015 season.[4]
For the 2020 season, the Thunder joined the newly-established NBL1 North, which replaced the QBL.[6] After the NBL1 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Thunder women went on to win the 2020 Queensland State League (QSL).[7] In 2021, the Thunder women won the NBL1 North championship.[8] In 2022, the women's team advanced to the NBL1 North Grand Final undefeated,[9] but then lost the best-of-three series 2–0 to the Townsville Flames.[10][11][12] In 2025, the women's team returned to the NBL1 North Grand Final series, where they defeated the Southern Districts Spartans 2–1 to win the championship.[13][14][15][16]
