For over two decades, NABI has proudly stood as the largest and most prestigious all-Native American basketball tournament in North America, serving high school-aged youth. Since our founding in 2003, we’ve garnered the support of major organizations such as the Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Mercury, many tribes, and corporations across the United States.

Each year, over 2,400 athletes compete in the Native American Basketball Invitational, donning NABI Nation uniforms and playing 480+ games over just a few days. Reaching the Semifinals and Championship games means stepping onto a professional basketball court, complete with all the bells and whistles, in front of cheering fans, with the event live-streamed to thousands across Indian Country. Victorious teams earn the coveted NABI Championship trophy and custom Championship rings, and proudly bring it home to their communities.
