On the club, national and international level, men's netball teams exist, but attract less attention than women's netball.[1] Mixed teams are not uncommon in Australia and are very popular.[2] Men's national teams do exist in Antigua & Barbuda, Australia, Brunei, Canada, England, Fiji, Hong Kong, India, the Isle of Man, Jamaica, Kenya, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Grenada, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, South Africa, Uganda, the United Arab Emirates, United States, and Zambia.[1]

In 1997, in England male participation comprised 0.7% of the total netball playing population within schools.[3] Unlike women's netball at elite and national levels, men's and mixed gendered teams in countries like Fiji, Australia and New Zealand are largely self-funded.[4] When administrators attend conferences for men's and mixed gendered netball, they also have to pay most of their own costs.[4]

History

Netball started to become popular for male players in Australia during the 1980s as men started to watch the sport that their wives and girlfriends were participating in.[4] In Australia, the sport began to be played with the appearance of mixed gendered social teams.[4] In 1985, the first Australian Championship were held in Geelong.[4] The levels contested included: Open, Open Reserves, 21 and Under, 19 and Under, 17 and Under and Masters.[4]

In 2002 ADF were due to host the AAMNA (All Australian Men's Netball Association) Championships in Townsville, due to costs to other states and deployment of ADF personnel, this championships was cancelled. .[4] In 2002, the South Australians tried to recreate the national organisation under their own state organisation, calling it the Australian International Mens and Mixed Netball Association.[4] The new organisation held its first Australian Championships in 2002 for men's and mixed teams.[4] In 2003, New Zealand entered a national team in the Open Mens Division and won.[4] For a number of years AAMNA (the original) and AIMMNA (supported by SA and WA) had competing championships, with AAMNA rebranding to AMMNA (Australian Men's and Mixed Netball Association) and ultimately out lasting AIMMNA with all states returning to the AMMNA Championships.

In 2004, New Zealand and Fiji sent teams to compete in the Australian Mixed and Men's National Championships.[4] On 6 August 2004, the men's national organisations for Fiji, Cook Islands, New Zealand and Australia attended a meeting where they agreed to form the International Men's and Mixed Netball Association.[5] The following day, the organisation's first official meeting was held.[5] The group decided that the International Men's and Mixed Challenge in August 2006 would be the first event they would organise, and that the event would be held in Fiji.[5]

The 2009 International Challenge Men's and Mixed Netball Tournament was held in the Cook Islands.[6] Currently, the International Federation of Netball Associations only recognises women's netball.[4]

The 2011 International Challenge Men's and Mixed Netball Tournament was run by the Western Australian Men's and Mixed Netball Association (WAMMNA).[6] It is the major international competition for men's and mixed gendered national netball teams.[6] In the 2011 competition held in April, men's national teams from Samoa, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand and the Cook Islands are a few that will compete.[6]

In 2017 the Australian Championships, held on the Gold Coast, were live streamed for the first time. There were nearly 140,000 viewers around the world who viewed the last 43 matches on the final four days of competition. The first Asian Men's Netball Championship 2016, held in Putrajaya, Malaysia, was live streamed on Facebook. Malaysia won the final over Pakistan in a thrilling match overtime match which Malaysia won by 2 goals,[7] while India beat Brunei to win the bronze medal.[8] Hong Kong finished fifth.

The 2018 Australian Championships was planned to take place at Genea Netball Centre from 1–7 April.

The 2018 Trans-Tasman Cup was to bebe contested between Australia and New Zealand across four divisions (U20, U23, Open Mixed and Open Men's) from 23–28 October at Priceline Stadium in Adelaide.

On 26 June 2019, the New Zealand Men's Netball side competed in their first televised match, beating the Fiji Women's team, the Pearls, 93–19. On 29 June 2019, the men's team won the Cadbury Netball Series against the Silver Ferns 66–54, for their first international series win.[9]
