Australian National Netball Championships

The Australian National Netball Championships are a series of annual netball tournaments, organised by Netball Australia and featuring representative teams from the states and territories of Australia. After several interstate matches had taken place across the country, the first official championships were held in 1928 in Melbourne. Victoria won the inaugural event. Until 2005, the championships featured an open tournament, as well tournaments for under-17, under-19 and under-21 teams. However, following the emergence of the Commonwealth Bank Trophy league, Netball Australia decided to end the open tournament.
