Manchester Lands The 2031 Netball World Cup

England will stage the Netball World Cup for a fourth time in 2031, with every match at Manchester's Co-op Live arena, World Netball and England Netball announced. Eastbourne hosted the first tournament in 1963 and Birmingham staged the 1995 edition. The Roses reached their first final in 2023 but lost 61-45 to twelve-time champions Australia, and organisers hope the event will boost women's sport nationwide.
