The Tauihi women's professional basketball league kicked off last week.
Among the teams competing in the national competition is the BNZ Kāhu - now owned by a group of five women.
New Zealand women's basketball is in a growth phase - players are now paid more than their male counterparts, every game is broadcast by Sky Sport, and also being aired around the world by media partners.
Kathryn meets two of the five women who recently purchased the franchaise: Dani Marshall is the founder of womenzsports, and Jo Caird, a former New Zealand junior tennis player and the All Blacks' first official photographer.
They believe Kāhu is the first sports team in the world to be solely women owned, coached and managed.
