About Cairns Convention Centre

Cairns Convention Centre is a convention centre and basketball venue located in Cairns, Australia. It is the home of the Cairns Taipans of the National Basketball League, and during Taipans home games it has acquired the nickname "The Snakepit."

📜 History

The venue opened in 1996, and 3 years later a 5,300-seat hall was added in time for the Taipans' NBL debut in 1999.

It has been refurbished, upgraded, and expanded at several points over the years, including a significant renovation that was completed in 2022, to help keep the venue up to modern standards with state-of-the-art facilities.

In 2018, Cairns Convention Centre hosted basketball heats as part of the Commonwealth Games.
