The 2027 Netball World Cup will be the seventeenth staging of the Netball World Cup, the premier competition in international netball, contested every four years. The tournament will be held in Sydney, Australia.[1]
Netball Australia announced their interest to bid as early as June 2019, saying they promise the best netball event ever seen.[2][3] They officially made an application for the competition on 30 June 2020, with the slogan all for 2027.[4]
Sydney's bid was the only one that applied.[5] On 26 April 2021, Sydney was confirmed as hosts for the third time.[1][6]
Venue
The primary venue will be the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.[7] There is also potential that other places around New South Wales could host games.[2][8]
