England Netball reveal 2025 international fixtures
The Vitality Roses will host New Zealand’s Silver Ferns in a three-match Vitality International Test Series in November before facing Jamaica at home and away as the Vitality Horizon Series returns in December.
Currently lying fourth in the World Netball world rankings, England enter these series following a hugely successful 2024-25 international window which saw them win the Vitality Netball Nations Cup for the first time ever, beat the current world number one Australia in Australia for only the third time ever and win the Taini Jamison Trophy against New Zealand for only the second time ever.
The Vitality Roses will play world number two New Zealand in London and Manchester in November. In The opening weekend of the Vitality Netball International Series versus New Zealand will be held at the Copper Box Arena in London, before moving to the AO Arena in Manchester for the final test match.
2024 saw the inaugural Vitality Netball Horizon Series, after England and Jamaica – ranked third in the world - committed to playing each other in a home and away format every year for four years. In December, the Vitality Roses will look to earn the right to lift the Rhone-Hornsby Cup for the first time, after a closely contested series saw Jamaica take the title last year. The first two games in the Vitality Netball Horizon Series will be played in Kingston, Jamaica with the closing weekend set to be played at London’s Copper Box Arena.
Not only do these international series against two of the top netball nations signify an important step on the road to the 2026 Commonwealth Games for the Vitality Roses, but they also provide an amazing opportunity for fans to show their support for the squad and watch live, elite netball across two different venues in both London and Manchester. We cannot wait to welcome New Zealand and Jamaica to what I am sure will be two highly competitive and incredibly entertaining international netball series. Fran Connolly, Chief Executive Officer at England Netball
Tickets to both series will go on general sale at 10am on Thursday 7 August.
