The Mansfield Giants are a basketball club from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England. The club was originally formed in 1990, and home games are played at the Oak Tree Leisure Centre.[1]
The Giants debuted in the English Basketball League in the 2006/07 season, with the Men's team entering the newly formed Division 4 (North), starting with a 10–4 record in their first year, which was enough to earn them a quick promotion to Division 3. Two years later, the Giants' Men's team repeated their success, taking second place in the D3 North bracket with a 17–5 win–loss record to earn promotion to Division 2. By comparison, the Women's team entered directly into Division 2 (North) on their debut in 2006, with their second place in the 2008–09 season the highlight so far.[2]
