The 2024 Constellation Cup was the 14th Constellation Cup series between Australia and New Zealand. It featured four netball test matches, played in October 2024.[1][2][3][4] New Zealand had just lost the preceding 2024 Taini Jamison Trophy Series 2–1 to England. However, after winning the first three tests, they eventually won the series 3–1. This was the first New Zealand Constellation Cup win since 2021 and only their third ever in the history of the series. The winning New Zealand team was coached by Noeline Taurua and captained by Ameliaranne Ekenasio. The Australia team were coached by Stacey Marinkovich and captained by Liz Watson.[5][6][7][8][9][10] The series was broadcast live on Sky Sport in New Zealand, on Foxtel in Australia and worldwide on NetballPass.[1][3][4][11][12]
