The world’s top 16 netball nations will compete from August 7 to 16, 2015.

“This deal further demonstrates Network TEN’s commitment to live sport. The Diamonds are the defending World Champions and have had a fantastic year against some tough competition. The Netball World Cup will make for great television viewing.”
NWC2015 Chief Executive, Marne Fechner, said, “We are thrilled to have the Netball World Cup Sydney 2015 broadcast on Network TEN.
“This is a significant moment for this event and for our sport. Network TEN has a long history of broadcasting netball and we are excited to work with their expert team over the next eight months to build the profile of this once-in-a-generation event.

I also read a tweet from Sarah Jones from Fox Sports that they have the rights to it as well. twitter.com/sarahjonesFOX/status/545387426642800641?s=09
Imagine if ten actually embraced netball, seriously? It could, if built property become a slowburner generational hit. Like college football in US. I think ten with winning / being relevant in any demographic they’ll be happy with.
@bagbuffy – It won’t be delayed did you read the PR properly. The game will be live from tomorrow but however, Jan 4 – 9 will be delayed by an hour on Ten
Oh great! Ch10 has the Netball World Cup. I imagine the World Cup all be delayed in Brsbane Like the BBL. Though we should be greatful that Ch10 will broadcast the sport in Colour !!
Netball world cup won’t get too many viewers, Ten won’t show matches in prime time !
@smith0847 – support the women’s games as they deserve TV air time.
But good on Ten for getting the rights to netball world cup
At least Ten have some decent Sporting Telecasts like the V8s, F1 and the MotoGP + the BBL.
Yes they do!!
