The Commonwealth Bank Trophy was the pre-eminent national netball competition in Australia from 1997 to 2007.
It was established in 1997 as a true national league to replace the ailing, state club-based Mobil League. Designed from the beginning to be more marketable to the general public, it saw large increases in crowd sizes and sponsorship over its predecessor. From 2008, it was replaced by the ANZ Championship.

Famous quotes containing the words commonwealth and/or bank:
“This little world, this little state, this little commonwealth of our own....”

“That strain again, it had a dying fall;
O, it came o’er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odor. Enough, no more,
‘Tis not so sweet now as it was before.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
