The Victorians will again be one of the favourites to take out the Under-18s crown in 2024, but will face stiff competition especially from neighbouring state South Australia, who have built a highly-competitive country basketball representative program in recent years.

The Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup has produced several top-tier Australian basketball talents including Opals and Boomers legends Lauren Jackson and Patty Mills in its 36-year history, and with more than 600 athletes expected to compete across two basketball stadiums in January, there is a big chance viewers might just discover the next legend-in-waiting.

ACJBC organizer Bert Bargeus said the tournament was originally set-up as a pathway for regional athletes to have the opportunity to compete on a national stage, and had started as a strictly Under-16s event before growing to include three different age groups.
