The Netball World Youth Cup, previously known as the World Youth Netball Championships, is an international netball competition featuring under-21 teams. It is organised by World Netball. The inaugural 1988 tournament was hosted by Australia as part of the Australian Bicentenary celebrations. Australia and New Zealand have dominated the competition, winning every tournament between them. [1] [2] [3] [4]

World Netball reported that the 2025 Netball World Youth Cup held in Gibraltar reached more than 26 million people across its digital platforms during the nine-day event, the highest audience recorder for the competition. The figures were seen as evidence of netball's growing international profile, particularly among youth audiences and emerging netball regions. [5]
