Netball in Trinidad and Tobago

The Trinidad and Tobago Netball Association is the main governing body for netball in Trinidad and Tobago. It is affiliated to World Netball, Americas Netball and the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee. It is responsible for organising and administering the Trinidad and Tobago national netball team.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

In 1952, Lystra Lewis, the pioneering netball coach and administrator, first coached the Trinidad and Tobago national netball team. Competitive netball among Caribbean and West Indies countries started in 1954 with a triangular tournament featuring Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada. In 1954, Lewis was instrumental in establishing the West Indies Netball Board in an effort to formalise netball tournaments.^[6][7][8] Trinidad and Tobago are the only team other than Australia and New Zealand to have won a Netball World Cup. Trinidad and Tobago hosted the 1979 World Netball Championships in Port of Spain. With a team coached by Lystra Lewis, captained by Sherril Peters and featuring Jean Pierre, Trinidad and Tobago won eight of their nine matches in the round-robin stage. This included a 40–38 win over Australia. However, both Australia and New Zealand also won eight of their nine matches. There were no playoffs to determine an outright winner and the tournament organisers declared all three teams champions.^{[7][9][10][11][12]} Trinidad and Tobago were bronze medallists at the 1983 World Netball Championships and shared the silver medal at the 1987 World Netball Championships.^{[11][13][14][15]}
