The NBL finals series in 1984 consisted of the elimination-style divisional finals, two semifinal games, and one championship-deciding grand final.
The top four teams in each division competed in a 1v2/3v4 elimination finals fixture, with the loser of 1v2 playing the winner of 3v4 for a spot in the Semi-finals, while the winner of 1v2 qualified through to the Semi-finals as well.
