Vitality Netball World Cup 2023

The Vitality Netball World Cup starts this month!

From 28th July - 6th August, Cape Town, South Africa, hosts 16 teams hoping to win the top prize in netball.

Liverpool hosted the last World Cup in 2019 which was won by New Zealand. Australia came second and England won bronze. England also won the bronze medal in 2015 and 2011 and so will definitely be hoping to change the statistics this summer.

Teams competing

We are extremely excited to see a grand total of three home nation teams taking part in the World Cup: England, Wales and Scotland, alongside South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Barbados, Jamaica, Fiji, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malawi, Uganda, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago and Zimbabwe.

The Scotland squad are 10th in the World and known as the Thistles:
