England will host the Netball World Cup in 2031, with Manchester selected as the staging city. The tournament will take place at Co-op Live, marking the fourth time England has hosted the event following previous editions in Eastbourne (1963), Birmingham (1995), and Liverpool (2019). Sixteen teams are set to compete at the venue that will also host the Netball Super League Grand Final.
England's previous performances on home soil include bronze medals at two of the last three World Cups. The nation aims to improve on their silver medal finish at the 2023 World Cup in South Africa and secure their first title. Tournament organizers view the event as an opportunity to inspire new players and fans, building on the legacy of previous hosting duties.
The 2027 World Cup will be held in Australia before England looks to defend their home advantage in 2031.
