2027 Netball World Cup

The 2027 Netball World Cup will bring the world’s best players back to Sydney for an unforgettable celebration of our game, with 64 matches played over 12 action-packed days from 25 August – 5 September 2027.

It will mark the third time Sydney has hosted the sport’s biggest stage, following the iconic 1991 and 2015 tournaments — including the record-breaking 2015 Final at Qudos Bank Arena where 16,752 fans witnessed Australia defeat New Zealand in front of the largest ever crowd for a netball match.

Backed by the NSW Government’s $1.5 million investment, including a $1 million Legacy Program and $500,000 for a Netball Infrastructure Strategy, the World Cup will leave a lasting legacy across New South Wales. From new participation opportunities and leadership pathways to modern, accessible facilities, this investment will strengthen netball communities and inspire generations of players right across the state.
