Why it exists
Where sport, star power and purpose collide.
A one-of-a-kind celebrity netball event that brings together elite athletes, public figures and passionate fans to celebrate women’s sport while driving real social impact. Proudly women-led, and more than a match: a movement for visibility, empowerment and change through the game of netball.
