NETBALL NSW OVERVIEW
Netball NSW is a not-for-profit organisation governed by a Board of Directors and managed by professional staff. As the peak state sporting body for netball in New South Wales, it is responsible for the governance, development, promotion and administration of the sport, and is affiliated with Netball Australia.
Netball NSW provides a comprehensive framework supporting approximately 119,000 registered members and more than 150,000 participants across all levels of the game. The sport’s continued growth is driven by the wide range of programs, facilities and services offered, from grassroots participation to professional pathways.
Netball NSW has a strong history of elite performance, with over 300 athletes representing the state since 1997, including through the Suncorp Super Netball competition featuring the NSW Swifts and GIANTS Netball.
Suncorp Super Netball
Suncorp Super Netball marked a new chapter in Australian netball when it launched in 2017, providing the platform for GIANTS Netball to enter the national competition alongside the NSW Swifts.
Both teams are owned and operated by Netball NSW, with GIANTS Netball formed through a strategic alliance with the GWS GIANTS AFL. The ownership of the two teams is a key strategic initiative for Netball NSW, creating greater opportunities for more than 119,000 registered members across the state. These opportunities include pathways to represent NSW and their clubs at the highest domestic level, as well as increased access for fans to watch the world’s best netballers live.
Both clubs are committed to strong leadership, competitive excellence, and consistently contending for the Suncorp Super Netball title.
