The IFNA World Rankings are published by the International Federation of Netball Associations (IFNA) to make it possible to compare the relative strengths of internationally active national netball teams. Initially, rankings were based on the results from the Netball World Championships, and released after the conclusion of each event, every four years. A new ranking system was implemented on 11 February 2008, wherein teams are ranked based on international tests played, currently since July 2009. Teams appear on the rankings list once they have played eight international test matches, starting from July 2009. The rankings are updated by the IFNA at unspecified time intervals.
