Netball World Cup Every Two Years Amid Commonwealth Games ‘Uncertainty’

Share

World Netball has announced plans for the World Cup to take place every two years, as they look to "future-proof" uncertainty around the Commonwealth Games.

Netball has been an official Commonwealth Games sport since 1998 and has relied on the event to showcase the sport to a wider audience.

The World Cup traditionally takes place on a four-year cycle, with the next tournament set to be hosted in Australia in 2027.

The long-term future of the Commonwealth Games is unclear, after difficulties finding a host nation for the 2026 edition due to rising costs.
