Report

The 2019-20 Basketball Ireland Men’s Super League was cancelled after 21 weeks due the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic, and Belfast Star declared winners with just one week of matches left due to second placed Garveys Tralee Warriors having forfeited a match during the season due to an unintentional rule violation.

Report

Basketball Ireland rebranded the Super League as the Premier League in 2013, however, Division 1 remained the same. 

In 2013-14 Maree won the League Title, and in 2014-15, another Galway team, Moycullen won the Division 1 title. The top two played in the Premier League playoffs this year (named the Champions Trophy), whilst those ranked 3-6 played in the Division 1 Playoffs along with four lower-ranked Premier League sides, one of which, DCU Saints won the Playoff title (named the League Cup).

At the end of the 2015-16 season, Maree, back in Division after being relegated from the Premier League, won the League title but fell in the League Cup (Playoff) Final, 89-79 to Kubs of Kilbarrack in Dublin.

For the following season Division 1 was split into Northern and Southern Conferences, with Maree and Neptune of Cork winning their respective conferences, and Maree the overall League. In The League Cup Playoffs, Killorglin of Kerry shocked both Maree and, in the Final, Neptune, winning 97-72.

The League was again split into Northern & Southern Conferences for the 2017-18 season, with the League split into a Top Half (Division 1A) and Bottom Half (Division 1B) for the second half of the season. Killorglin won the League title, but IT Carlow were to be the Playoff champions, winning the League Cup 88-72 against Dublin Lions of Clondalkin.

In 2018-19, a whopping 17 teams played in Division 1, with teams playing each other twice within their own conference, and once against teams from the other conference for a marathon 23 or 24 game season. DBS Eanna of Ballyroan in Dublin, and Ballincollig, from Cork, won their respective Conferences, before DBS Eanna went on to win the Playoff Final, 73-67 against Dublin Lions.

Report

Basketball Ireland rebranded the Super League as the Premier League in 2013, but Division 1 remained the same.

In 2013-14 Portlaoise Panthers won the Division 1 title, but lost the Playoff Final to Tralee Imperials 51-33. The following year saw a repeat of the previous year for Portlaoise, again winning the League title, this time undefeated, but again going down in the Playoff Final, losing this time 63-59 to Oblate Dynamoes of Dublin. They were, however, promoted to the Premier League.

In 2015-16, NUI Galway Mystics completed the League and Playoff double, winning 79-61 in the Final against Fr. Mathews of Cork. Again the League champions failed in the Playoff Final in 2016-17, as IT Carlow lost out to neighbours Marble City Hawks of Kilkenny, 55-47, but were promoted.

In 2017-18, Marble City Hawks continued the pattern of League winners failing in the Playoff Final, as they lost to Fr. Mathews 48-43. For 2018-19 the Division was split into Northern and Southern Conferences, with Conference champions, Maree of Galway and Ulster University Elks, successfully negotiating the Playoffs and meeting in the Final, which was won by Maree, 73-65.
