The 2024 Vitality Netball Nations Cup was an international netball series hosted and organised by England Netball. It featured England, Australia, New Zealand and Uganda in a series, played in January 2024. The series was played over two successive weekends. The first weekend was played at London's OVO Arena Wembley while the second weekend was played at Leeds's First Direct Arena.[1][2][3][4] The tournament effectively replaced the Netball Quad Series for 2024. South Africa opted out of taking part and were subsequently replaced by Uganda.[5]
With a team coached by Stacey Marinkovich and captained by Liz Watson, Australia won the series after defeating England 69–49 in the final.[6][7][8][9][10] Australia finished the series undefeated, winning all four matches, and Paige Hadley was named the series MVP.[11] The series was broadcast live on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and Ireland, on Sky Sport in New Zealand, on Fox Sports in Australia and on YouTube.[12][13]
