The Melbourne Tigers are Australia's oldest and most respected basketball club, established circa 1931 in a local church hall League. Entering the National Basketball League in 1984, they are now the only Melbourne team, after the South Dragons withdrew from the league.

The Melbourne Tigers are the equal second most successful club in Australian basketball with four championships (beaten only by the Perth Wildcats).

They also enter a team in the Big V conference of the Australian Basketball Association, combined with a strong junior basketball program, meaning that they field teams in all age groups of Australian representative basketball.
