The New Zealand national netball team, commonly known as the Silver Ferns, represents Netball New Zealand in international netball, including the Netball World Cup, the Commonwealth Games, the Taini Jamison Trophy, the Constellation Cup, the Netball Quad Series and the Fast5 Netball World Series. It played its first Test in 1938, away to Australia in Melbourne, which was also the first netball international ever played. The two countries have been the main rivals since, and New Zealand has competed at every Netball World Cup since the first in 1963. It won the world title in 1967, 1979 (shared), 1987, 2003 and 2019 and has taken Commonwealth Games gold in 2006 and 2010, and it is regularly ranked second in the world rankings behind Australia.
