Out of the 16 nations competing in the tournament, strong contenders, South Africa and England as well as the rising netball nations of Malawi and Jamaica will be sure to test the Diamonds for the honour of raising the Netball World Cup – the ultimate prize in World Netball.

Netball has a fantastic grassroots following in Australia, and we’re strong supporters of women’s sport. With the Aussie side in great form and looking to take home the win after 2019’s narrow miss, it’s sure to be an exciting competition.”
