It replaced the trans-Tasman ANZ Championship competition, which was competed between five New Zealand teams and five Australian teams. For the new competition, the Northern Stars were formed as a sixth team to compete in the new competition against the five existing New Zealand teams, the Northern Mystics , the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic , the Central Pulse , the Mainland Tactix , and the Southern Steel . In May 2016 , it was announced that the new Northern team to join the competition would be from the 'greater Auckland area'. It was later confirmed in October that the name of the team would be the 'Northern Stars', based in the South Auckland area. Their training base is located at the new High Wire Trust gymnasium in Papakura, and home stadium at the Vodafone Events Centre in Manukau. Former England and Fiji coach Julie Hoornweg was named as the head coach of the team in August 2016 , who has also had experience in the ANZ Championship as the coach of the Melbourne Vixens from the establishment of the competition in 2008 until her resignation in 2012.

In 2017, the Stars will be headlined by Silver Fern and former Mystics player Kayla Cullen , whose "versatility and experience means Kayla will have a significant leadership role in the Stars inaugural season." Leana de Bruin , a former Silver Fern and Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic defender also joins the new team, along with 19-year-old 2016 Silver Ferns debutant Maia Wilson .
