Netball is a ball sport played by two teams of seven
players, usually on an indoor court, and is predominantly played by women.
It is among a rare number of sports which have been created exclusively
for the female sex, although efforts to expand the game to mixed and men's
teams now exist.
Together with the Netball World Cup, the
Commonwealth Games netball tournament is one of the two major
tournaments in international netball, with almost all the major Netball
playing nations entitled to attend. Australia have been the tournament's
most successful team, winning three gold medals. New Zealand have won two
gold medals. Between 1998 and 2014, Australia and New Zealand contested
every final and won every gold and silver medal between them. In 2018,
England became only the third team to both reach the final and win the
gold medal.
