The 2020 Vitality Netball Nations Cup was an international netball tournament. It was hosted by England Netball. It featured England, Jamaica, New Zealand and South Africa playing each other in a series of eight netball test matches in January 2020. The tournament effectively replaced the Netball Quad Series for 2020. Australia opted out of taking part and were subsequently replaced by Jamaica. Round 1 was hosted at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena, Round 2 was hosted at Arena Birmingham while the final four matches were hosted at London's Copper Box Arena.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
With a team coached by Noeline Taurua and captained by Ameliaranne Ekenasio,[7] New Zealand won the tournament, winning all four of their matches and defeating Jamaica 67–56 in the final.[8][9] The series was broadcast live on Sky Sports and Sky Sports YouTube in the United Kingdom and Ireland[10] and on SuperSport (South Africa).[5]
