# 2006–07 NBL season

The 2006–07 NBL season was the 29th season of competition since its establishment in 1979. For the first time, a team was established from outside the Australasian area, with the Singapore Slingers taking over the licence of the Hunter Pirates. A new franchise, the South Dragons, was established in Melbourne, taking the number of teams to twelve.
The Brisbane Bullets established a new NBL record of 21 straight wins, including 18 in the regular season.
