Netball in Paradise

Our 12th year of Netball in Paradise has come to an end and what an awesome week it has been. Over five days, twenty six teams from New Zealand, Australia and the Cook Islands filled our courts with energy, island spirit and some incredible netball across all four divisions: 16 & Under, Social Ladies, Open Women's and Open Mixed.

Meitaki Ma’ata to Bank of the South Pacific (BSP) for their long-standing support from the very beginning that has shaped Netball In Paradise into what it is today. Meitaki also to Air Rarotonga for bringing our sixteen and under Araura Enua team over to compete. We appreciate our in kind partners too, including Tina and Co, Tourism Cook Islands and Pacific Springs (Vaima Water) for their support.

Funds raised through Netball in Paradise help Netball Cook Islands develop players and continue growing the game across our islands. To everyone on court and everyone cheering from the sidelines, thank you for being the heartbeat of this event.

Congratulations to all our teams. We loved having you in paradise and we cannot wait to see who returns in 2026. 🌺✨🤩
