After winning the CBL Invitation championship in 1982,[1] the team was promoted to the National Basketball League (NBL) for the 1983 season.

The Hawks made the semi-finals every year between 1993 and 1997,[3] including playing in their first NBL championship series in 1995, where they lost 2–0 to the Auckland Stars.

After missing the playoffs in 2013, the Hawks' 2014 season saw them win second minor premiership and reach the championship round for the sixth time.
