The National Basketball League Kiwi MVP was an annual National Basketball League (NBL) award given to the best performing New Zealand player(s) of the regular season. The first Kiwi MVP was awarded in 1984. This was followed by the award being recognised every year between 1991 and 2018.[1] It was discontinued in 2019.[2] From 2003 onwards, the New Zealand NBL Most Valuable Player Award took preeminence.
