BBNZ Unveils Schick 3×3 Cup Schedule and Website

Basketball New Zealand (BBNZ) are pleased to announce the full 176-game schedule for next month’s Schick 3×3 Cup in Invercargill.

You can find the schedule, along with team rosters, tickets, event news and more at our brand-new website schick3x3.basketball. This will be your one-stop shop for all things Schick 3×3 Cup, as well as the @BasketballNZ social media platforms.

The Schick 3×3 Cup will run from Wednesday 12 to Saturday 15 October, with 32 teams (16 men’s and 16 women’s) engaging in non-stop action over four days at ILT Stadium Southland. Tickets are now on sale at bbnz.link/tickets, with all 176 games also being broadcast live on Sky Sport.

The 16 men’s teams and 16 women’s teams will be split into two pools of eight for a round robin where they play each other once. All teams will advance to the playoffs regardless of round robin placing, where it will be single elimination from that point onwards. Those teams that lose in the playoffs will continue playing for placing.

Teams have been seeded and placed in pools based on their FIBA ranking points.

Leagues GM Huw Beynon says the talent level at this year’s Schick 3×3 Cup will make for an intriguing watch for fans around the country.

“We’re excited to return to Invercargill for the Schick 3×3 Cup and put on a show for not only the locals but fans around the country,” said Beynon.

“Fans will be able to enjoy non-stop basketball action across four days at ILT Stadium Southland, bringing the best access we can to our 32 teams with opportunities to interact and engage with some of the best players Aotearoa has to offer.

“We can’t wait to see the 32 teams on display and are thrilled to be working with ILT Stadium Southland to deliver this exciting event.”
