The Netball World Championship is a quadrennial international netball world championship co-ordinated by the International Federation of Netball Associations (IFNA), inaugurated in 1963. Since its inception the competition has been dominated primarily by the Australian national netball team and the New Zealand national netball team (the Silver Ferns).
History
In 1960, representatives from England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and The West Indies meet to discuss standardising the rules of the sport. This led to establish The International Federation of Women's Basketball and Netball (which later became the International Federation of Netball Associations). Formal rules were established at this inaugural meeting and it was decided to hold World Championship tournaments every four years. The first Netball World Championship was held in 1963 and was hosted by England. Since then there have been eleven more tournaments.
Results
** Suva, Fiji was scheduled to host the 2007 competition but was stripped of the right as a direct result of the December 2006 coup. Hosting rights were subsequently awarded to New Zealand, and the competition date moved from July to November 2007
