The 2024 Men's Fast5 Netball World Series was the 3rd Men's Fast5 Netball World Series. The tournament was played at Christchurch's Wolfbrook Arena, alongside the women's series, in November 2024. The series featured three men's netball teams representing New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. [1] [2] [3] [4] Australia won the series after defeating New Zealand 32–30 in the final. [5] Australia's pre-match dance to NSYNC's Bye Bye Bye saw them widely viewed on social media. However, this also led to homophobic abuse. Channel 7 had to limit the comments on their social media posts of the video. [6] [7]
