The city of Geelong and its surrounding region had two large associations fighting for resources over a 20-year period. Basketball Geelong had a strong club competition focusing on junior programs where as Corio Bay Basketball Association had a more adult-orientated program focusing on social basketball competitions. Geelong United Basketball was established in 2019 as a joint partnership of Basketball Geelong and Corio Bay.
Geelong United manages the Geelong United Supercats in the NBL1 South and enters teams in the Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL) and the Big V youth divisions. The organisation previously managed Country Basketball League (CBL) teams and the Corio Bay Stingrays in the Big V senior divisions.
In March 2024, Geelong United Basketball and a consortium of local private investors from Geelong expressed interest in acquiring the Melbourne Boomers' WNBL licence.
