ANZ Championship

Between 2008 and 2016, Magic played in the ANZ Championship.[16] Magic were the most successful New Zealand team during ANZ Championship era.[17][18] With a team coached by Noeline Taurua, captained by Amigene Metcalfe and featuring Irene van Dyk, Magic finished the 2008 season as minor premiers and overall runners-up. During the regular season Magic won 10 of their 13 matches and finished above eventual champions New South Wales Swifts. Magic subsequently lost to Swifts in the major semi–final, defeated Adelaide Thunderbirds in the preliminary final before losing the grand final to Swifts.[19][20][21][22][23][24][25]

In 2009 Magic were regular season runners up.[26] In 2010, Magic were grand finalists once again. They finished the regular season third behind Swifts and Thunderbirds. They subsequently defeated Southern Steel in the minor semi-final and Swifts in the preliminary final but lost to Thunderbirds in the grand final.[27][28][29][30][31] In 2011 they were again regular season runners up.[32][33]

In 2012, with a team coached by Taurua, captained by Laura Langman and featuring Leana de Bruin, Irene van Dyk, Julianna Naoupu and Casey Williams, Magic eventually won the premiership. Magic lost their first four matches. However, they subsequently won 12 matches in a row to finish third during the regular season and champions overall. In the minor semi-final they defeated Thunderbirds and in the preliminary final they defeated Northern Mystics after extra time. In the grand final they defeated Melbourne Vixens 41–38. As a result, they became the first, and only, New Zealand team to win the Championship. They were also the first and only team to start the season with four defeats and win the title and the first and only team to finish third in the regular season and win the title.[17][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]
