Team Info
The Franklin Bulls are a formidable force in the New Zealand National Basketball League (NZNBL), representing the vibrant community of Franklin. They play their home games at the Trusts Arena, a venue that becomes a bullring on game nights. Founded in 2019, the franchise brought professional basketball back to the region, adopting the "Bulls" name to symbolize strength and determination, with a color scheme of black, red, and white. Under dedicated local ownership and the leadership of a progressive head coach, the team has quickly made its mark. Despite being a relatively new entity, the Bulls have crafted a compelling history in a short time, reaching the NZNBL Final in just their second season, a remarkable achievement that galvanized their fan base. That playoff run, fueled by relentless defense and team chemistry, defined their early identity. The modern Bulls are built around a core of tough, athletic New Zealand players and key imports, playing with a high-energy, defensive-focused style that embodies their name. They are consistently in the playoff conversation, regarded as one of the toughest outs in the league. The "Bulls' Pen" fan group is known for its loud and unwavering support, making every home game an event. In a few short years, the Franklin Bulls have established themselves as a proud, competitive, and community-focused pillar of the NZNBL.
