The Dandenong Rangers are an Australian professional women's basketball team competing in the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL). The club is based in Dandenong, Melbourne, Victoria. Historically, they have been one of the more successful franchises in league history, regularly making the playoffs, but have struggled over the past 2 years to make the grand final, falling short in the preliminary final stage. They are strong rivals with the cross-town Melbourne Boomers.

History

Historically one of the better teams in the league, the Rangers have appeared in the Grand Final five times: winning in 2003/04 against the Sydney Uni Flames 65-53, 2004/05 also against the Flames 52-47 and 2011/12 against the Bulleen Boomers 94-70. They lost the 1992 Grand Final against the Perth Breakers 58-54 and in 2005/06 against the Canberra Capitals 68-55.
