History

The Big Bash League, launched in 2011, brings the Australian summer to life across December and January, and for Tasmanian fans the wait for silverware ended in style: the Hobart Hurricanes won their first title in the 2024-25 season, sealing it at home in front of a jubilant crowd. Playing in purple, the Hurricanes call Bellerive Oval home — currently known as Ninja Stadium — a charming ground set on the eastern shore of the River Derwent with the water and the hills as a backdrop, and a night under lights here is an intimate, family-friendly occasion.

Hobart, Tasmania's compact and characterful capital, makes a wonderful base, with the Salamanca waterfront, the MONA gallery and kunanyi/Mount Wellington all close by, and the ground a short drive or ferry across the river from the centre. Stay near the waterfront and book early, as Hobart is deservedly popular in high summer.
