2023 Netball World Cup

The 2023 Netball World Cup will be the sixteenth staging of the premier competition in international netball, contested every four years. The tournament will be held from 28 July to 6 August[1] at the International Convention Centre in Cape Town, South Africa. This will mark the first time the tournament will be held in Africa.[2]

The host city and venue was announced by the International Netball Federation (INF) on 8 March 2019, only months prior to the staging of the 2019 edition in Liverpool, England. Cape Town's bid, supported by the South African Government and the Western Cape province, was selected by the INF ahead of a bid by Auckland, New Zealand.[3] The INF stated the Cape Town bid would "deliver a greater impact on the development of global netball" and cited the pledges by the South African Government to invest heavily in preparation and development of the sport in the lead-up to the tournament.[2][4]

Venue

All matches at the event will be held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.

Teams

Sixteen teams will contest the 2022 title.[5] Six teams qualify automatically: the hosts, and the top five (other) teams in the World Netball Rankings.[6] The remaining ten places are filled via five regional tournaments, with two teams qualifying from each.[6]
