The Tasmania Jewels are an Australian professional basketball team based in Hobart, Tasmania, who will enter the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) in 2026.
The Jewels will be the first Tasmanian WNBL team since the Hobart Islanders, who last played in 1996.
In August 2025, the WNBL awarded Tasmania the ninth license, with the league expanding to nine teams for the 2026âÂÂ27 season. On 1 December 2025, the club unveiled the team name of Tasmania Jewels, with the term jewel being a direct link to the queen ant and thus being a counterpart to the men's team, the Tasmania JackJumpers. On 2 March 2026, the Jewels announced that Claudia Brassard would be the team's inaugural head coach.
