The city of Geelong and its surrounding region had two large associations fighting for resources over a 20-year period. Basketball Geelong had a strong club competition focusing on junior programs where as Corio Bay Basketball Association had a more adult-orientated program focusing on social basketball competitions. Geelong United Basketball was established in 2019 as a joint partnership of Basketball Geelong and Corio Bay.[1][2]

Geelong United manages the Geelong United Supercats in the NBL1 South and enters teams in the Victorian Junior Basketball League and the Big V Youth Leagues. The organisation previously managed Country Basketball League teams and the Corio Bay Stingrays in the Big V.[3][4]
