The Conference Basketball League (CBL) was a second-tier men's semi-professional basketball league in New Zealand. During the 1980s and 1990s, the CBL was a second-tier league beneath the National Basketball League (NBL), with promotion and relegation between the two leagues. By the 2000s, the system of promotion and relegation was scrapped, and the league was instead contested by provincial representative teams. During this era, NBL clubs also entered academy teams into the league, and the CBL also served as a development league for NBL teams.
