The women’s line up will include the hosts New Zealand, as well as the top five countries in the WN World Rankings as of the 1st March 2024; Australia, England, Jamaica, South Africa and Uganda.
The event will also once again include three men’s teams, with New Zealand competing as the hosts, alongside their Trans-tasman rivals Australia, and South Africa.
Having both won back-to-back series’, Australia women and New Zealand men will be looking to make it three consecutive titles at this year’s event.
World Netball Head of Events Kate Agnew said: “The FAST5 Netball World Series is a key part of our thrilling international events calendar.
“This innovative, dynamic and fast format has brought great entertainment and talent to New Zealand over the last two years, and we know that Netball New Zealand, along with the world’s other five-most experienced FAST5 women’s teams and our three world-class men’s teams, will create a fantastic spectacle for all to enjoy this year too.”
