Netball New Zealand has signed a non-binding term sheet with investors Anna Mowbray and Ali Williams to work towards privatising thier elite domestic competition from 2027.

Today, we’re excited to share a significant step forward for the future of our elite domestic competition in Aotearoa 🏐

Netball New Zealand has signed a non-binding term sheet with investors Anna Mowbray and Ali Williams to work towards privatising our elite domestic competition from 2027.

This means we’re working towards a professional competition where players have a meaningful career pathway, coaches and support staff have opportunities, fans have teams to get behind, and young netballers around the motu have athletes to look up to.

This work has been shaped in consultation with the New Zealand Netball Players’ Association and the Zones, and we’re all feeling positive about the direction we’re heading.

We know the past three years have been incredibly challenging for everyone who loves this game; players, teams, coaches, match officials, staff and fans.

So today is about looking forward. There’s more work to do, but this is an important step towards a strong, sustainable future for elite netball in Aotearoa.
