History

Inaugural season

The Hobart Hurricanes' inaugural coach was Allister de Winter and their inaugural captain was Tim Paine.

The Hobart Hurricanes made a great start to the inaugural Big Bash League season in 2011/12, winning their first game at the WACA Ground against the Perth Scorchers, making 140 before bowling out the Scorchers for 109, with the performance of fast bowler Ben Hilfenhaus resulting in his selection for the annual Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. In the Hurricanes' second match they faced fancied favorites Sydney Sixers before inflicting a 42-run defeat on the Sixers at Bellerive Oval in Hobart. Rana Naved-ul-Hasan was the leading wicket taker in Big Bash League 2011–12, taking 15 wickets for the Hurricanes.

2012/13–2023/24 seasons

The Hurricanes played a total of 8 games in the 2012–13 Big Bash League. They ended up losing 4 and winning the same number of games. They finished the tournament in 6th position out of 8 teams. The Hurricanes qualified for the semi-finals in 2013–14 Big Bash by just 1 point ahead of Brisbane Heat. They won the semi-final against the Stars. They were outclassed by Perth Scorchers in the final by 39 runs. They finished as the runners-up. Ben Dunk was named the Man of the Tournament with 395 runs and Jonathan Wells was the young gun of the tournament. They only won 3 games in the 2014–15 season and ended up 5th on the table.

In July 2018, they were one of the six teams invited to play in the first edition of the Abu Dhabi T20 Trophy, scheduled to start in October 2018. The 2018-19 season would also be the first time that the team finished a season on top of the ladder, though they would lose in the semi-finals against the Melbourne Renegades.

2024–2025 season

The 2024-2025 season of the Big Bash League was the team's most successful season, reaching the top of the ladder in the competition for the first time since the 2018-19 season. The team would then go on to win the Big Bash Title against the Sydney Thunder by 7 wickets, largely thanks to Mitchell Owen's batting performance, who set the record for the fastest 50 runs in a Big Bash Final and tied the record of fastest century in the Big Bash League with Craig Simmons.
