歷史

The Tall Blacks competed at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and finished with a 1–5 record, their only win coming against Angola in the playoff for eleventh.
In 2001, they defeated Australia in a three-game series to qualify for the 2002 FIBA World Championship in Indianapolis, United States.  At the tournament they finished fourth, after beating Puerto Rico in the quarter-finals before losses to Serbia and Montenegro and Germany. Tall Blacks captain Pero Cameron was the only non-NBA player named to the all-tournament team in Indianapolis.
The Tall Blacks qualified for the 2004 Athens Olympics but again finished with a 1–5 record and lost to Australia in the playoff for ninth place. Their most noted moment was on the 7th day of the games, when they defeated reigning World Champion Serbia and Montenegro 90–87.

2006年世錦賽

At the 2006 FIBA World Championship, the Tall Blacks were not to repeat their fourth-place finish from 2002. After an 0–3 start, the Tall Blacks rallied into the Second round with two straight wins to close out the group stage. However, they would fall in the round of 16 to defending Olympic gold medalists Argentina, 79–62. After that disappointment, Tab Baldwin resigned as the coach of the Tall Blacks and was replaced by Nenad Vučinić, his longtime assistant coach.

2011年斯坦科維奇杯

The squad competed at the 2011 Boris Stanković Cup in China. They played 3 games against difficult opposition, China, Russia and Angola.
After going down to Russia in the first game by just 3 points, the Tall Blacks quickly put that behind them to smash China in their second game which led to a good win against a strong Angolan team.
The Tall Blacks came up against a strong Russian team in the final, but the Russians were no match for Tall Blacks star shooting guard Kirk Penney as he dropped 30 points to give the Tall Blacks the win and the gold medal for 2011.

Haka

The Tall Blacks perform a traditional Haka (Māori challenge) before every game.

亞洲籃球錦標賽/亞洲盃籃球賽

自2017年開始，男籃亞錦賽將正式改制為亞洲盃籃球賽並實行新賽制，紐西蘭和澳大利亞將與亞洲球隊一起競爭預選賽。亞洲杯成績將與奧運會脫鉤，改為世界盃上成績最好的亞洲球隊直通奧運會，否則將必須參加奧運資格賽才有可能晉級。
