Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup, Albury (2026)

Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup welcome

AlburyCity and the City of Wodonga are proud to be hosting the 2015 Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup. This region has a strong sporting tradition, producing the likes of basketballer Lauren Jackson, tennis legend Margaret Court, soccer players Archie Thompson and Josh Kennedy, Olympic shot-putter Scott Martin and, of course, cricketer And

rew McDonald. This year marks the 29th anniversary of the competition, which continues to go from strength to strength. The first cup was held in 1985 and consisted of 28 teams from New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. There will be at least 64 teams this year with more than 700 players, coaches and officials taking part. Another 1500 people are expected to visit the border, which includes spectators and families. We would like to extend a particularly warm welcome to everyone who has travelled from Western Australia, Tasmania or New Zealand. We appreciate the hurdles you’ve overcome to travel so far. We are also very pleased that New South Wales, South Australia, and Victoria continue to support the cup as they have since its inception. A quick look through the honour roll in this program will highlight just why young basketball players and their families are prepared to travel to this event. More than 80 basketball players who have participated in this competition have gone on to represent Australia or New Zealand at international events over the years. So, to all players, coaches, officials and spectators attending the event, we would like to wish you all the best during your stay here. We hope you are able to experience the many things Albury, Wodonga and the region have to offer. For places to visit or see, please call in to either visitor information centre located at the Albury railway station and Gateway Village on the Lincoln Causeway in Wodonga, and the friendly staff will be more than happy to assist. Enjoy the basketball, make new friends, meet old acquaintances, have a great stay and most importantly have a safe return journey home. AlburyCity Mayor Cr Kevin Mack

The Cup Directors with great sadness acknowledge the passing of Rod Bush. Rod was a great contributor to the Country Cup over many years and his legacy will be enduring. The following is the official post from Basketball Victoria.

Basketball Victoria is deeply saddened by the passing of Rod Bush OAM, one of the most respected and influential technical officials in the history of Victorian basketball.
Across more than 60 years of service, Rod helped shape refereeing, technical officiating and country basketball throughout Victoria, while mentoring and inspiring generations of officials, volunteers and basketball leaders.
Recently recognised with a Basketball Victoria 60 Years of Service Award and appointed a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM), Rod's contribution to the game and community leaves an enduring legacy.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Rod's wife Patsy, their three daughters Emily, Georgie and Madeline, their families, friends and the wider basketball community.

FROM BASKETBALL TASMANIA
Today we acknowledge and celebrate the incredible contribution of Kylie French, who will conclude her time with Basketball Tasmania later this month after more than 12 years of dedicated service.
As our longest-serving staff member, Kylie has played an integral role in the growth and evolution of basketball across Tasmania. From business operations and integrity management through to pathway programs and representative tours, her professionalism, commitment, and care for the basketball community have left a lasting impact on our sport.
Many within the basketball community will know Kylie through her work with the Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup (ACJBC), where she has helped create unforgettable experiences for hundreds of athletes and families each year. Her contribution to the sport extends well beyond the office, with strong relationships and friendships built across Tasmania and around the country.
Kylie’s knowledge, resilience, and dedication have made her an invaluable member of the Basketball Tasmania team, and while we will certainly miss her, we are excited for the opportunities that lie ahead for her.
