World Netball

World Netball is the worldwide governing body for netball, based at MediaCityUK in Salford, England. It was founded in 1960 as the International Federation of Women's Basketball and Netball Associations, when representatives of Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Wales and the West Indies met in Colombo, then Ceylon, and settled the modern rules of the sport and agreed a world tournament for 1963. It was later renamed the International Federation of Netball Associations, then the International Netball Federation, and took its present name in June 2021. World Netball organises the Netball World Cup, netball at the Commonwealth Games, the Fast5 Netball World Series and the Netball World Youth Cup, publishes the World Netball Rankings and maintains the rules of the game. It has more than 80 members in five regional federations and has been recognised by the International Olympic Committee since 1995.
