Following the demise of the ANZ Championship, in November 2016 Netball New Zealand announced they wanted to create "a super club competition" in order to continue to provide New Zealand players and clubs with international experience.[4][5]
The Super Club trophy was designed by Jens Hansen Jewellers of Nelson, New Zealand. Their previous designs have included the One Ring, as featured in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, and the Super Rugby Trophy. The trophy, which is made of brass and solid sterling silver, features seven interlocking bands shaped into the exact size of a number-five competition netball. The seven bands represent the seven players that make up a netball team. The base is made from reclaimed Lebanese cedar. The original tree, from which the base was made from, was planted in Queens Gardens around 1890.[26][27][28][29][30][31]
