The 2019 Vitality Netball World Cup was the 15th edition of the INF Netball World Cup. It was held from 12–21 July 2019 at the Liverpool Arena in Liverpool, England with matches being held on two courts. Host nation England finished their campaign with a bronze medal. New Zealand became 5th-time champions after beating Australia in the final and gold medal match.
Sixteen nations contested for the title, including the top six of the previous tournament held in Sydney, Australia. After two group stage rounds, Australia, England, New Zealand, and South Africa all made it to the semi-finals. In a rematch of the 2015 final, New Zealand would take home their fifth title after defeating Australia by one goal 51-52.
England took Bronze, Northern Ireland finished 10th and Scotland finished 11th. Wales did not compete due to not qualifying for the tournament.
