Netball New Zealand (NNZ) is proud to announce a landmark partnership with WM New Zealand who will become the naming rights partner of the International Netball Series – encompassing both the Taini Jamison Trophy and the New Zealand played Constellation Cup matches.    

The multi-year agreement marks a significant step forward for the sport, with WM New Zealand’s support helping to elevate the profile of international netball matches and provide greater opportunities to engage fans across Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond. 

Under the new partnership, the Series will be known as the WM New Zealand Netball Series, where the Silver Ferns will compete this year against South Africa for the Taini Jamison Trophy and play the Australian Diamonds to compete for the Constellation Cup. 

Netball New Zealand Chief Executive Jennie Wyllie said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to excellence, community impact and the growth of women’s sport. 

“We are delighted to welcome WM New Zealand as our naming rights partner for our International Netball Series,” Wyllie said. 

“This partnership allows us to continue building on the proud legacy of both the Taini Jamison Trophy and the Constellation Cup, showcasing the Silver Ferns’ winning moves while inspiring the next generation of athletes and fans. WM New Zealand’s values align strongly with our own, and we’re excited about what we can achieve together.” 

The International Netball Series has long been a highlight on the global calendar, drawing some of the sport’s fiercest international rivalries. The addition of WM New Zealand’s backing signals renewed energy and ambition for netball at the highest level. 

WM New Zealand Managing Director Evan Maehl said the company was proud to stand alongside Netball NZ as naming rights partner. 

“WM New Zealand is honoured to partner with Netball New Zealand in supporting the pinnacle of international netball in Aotearoa,” Maehl said.
