National Competitions
The first national netball competition in New Zealand was held in 1926. Presently, the three main national netball tournaments are the New Zealand National Championships, the New Zealand Age Group Championships and the New Zealand Secondary School Championships. The National Championships are contested between regional-representative teams, and provide players for the ANZ Championship franchises. U-19 and U-21 teams compete at the New Zealand Age Group Championships. The New Zealand Secondary School Championships provides players for the New Zealand Secondary Schools team. Until the late 1990s, a national club championship was also held, known as the Coca-Cola Cup.
