From Nights, 8:10 pm on 24 July 2025

The ANZ Premiership Grand Final takes place on Sunday between The Northern Mystics and Tactix in Auckland.

If they win, The Mystics, who have home advantage, will become the first team to claim a hat-trick and four titles in total. A Tactix win would be a first for the mainland club. 

RNZ sports reporter Bridget Tunnicliffe has reported on four Netball World Cups and two Commonwealth Games. She previews the Grand Final and looks at some changes to the sport here and overseas.
