Early tournaments

edit

The earliest Australian National Netball Championships took place during 1920s. Differing sources mean it is unclear exactly which year the tournament was first held. According to the 2005 Netball New South Wales annual report, New South Wales won their first title in 1926.[1] Meanwhile, according to the Netball Victoria website, Victoria hosted and won the first official championships in 1928 in Melbourne.[2][3] According to the 2004 Netball Australia annual report, the 2004 National Netball Championships were the 71st edition. However according to the 2005 annual report there had been eighty years of open competition.[3][4][5]

Open

edit

In 2004, the open and under-21 National Netball Championships were held at Challenge Stadium in Perth, Western Australia. According to the 2004 Netball Australia annual report, they were the 71st National Netball Championships. The 2004 tournament featured several members of the Australia national netball team, including Liz Ellis, Catherine Cox, Jane Altschwager and Mo'onia Gerrard, as well as emerging players such as Natalie Medhurst, Kimberley Smith, Joanne Sutton, Johannah Curran, Susan Fuhrmann and Brooke Thompson.[4][6] In 2005, Netball ACT hosted the final open championships in Canberra. Following the emergence of the Commonwealth Bank Trophy league, Netball Australia decided to end the open tournament.[5]
