The U.S. Open Netball Championships®, the USA's most prestigious and largest netball event. Since 2009, this annual championship has brought together women's and mixed co-ed netball teams from around the world to compete for the coveted titles of U.S. Open Netball Champions. This event is streamed free globally at www.USOpenNetball.TV and draws over 100,000 online viewers.  

The event has participation of 32 adult netball teams (approx. 400 athletes) and 50 officials from across the USA, Canada, Caribbean, UK, and Australia who all descend upon the USA to compete for the U.S. Open Title.  The event is held in a different city each year on an annual basis.   The primary objective of this event is to foster the development of American athletes, coaches, and umpires, as netball is a grassroots sport in the USA.

A lot of our attendees come in and stay in the city for a week to sightsee, as it is often their first time to the USA.

There is no dribbling; no running with the ball; 7 players; ball passed within 3 seconds; ball & basket slightly smaller; no backboard; players designated to certain areas. Netball has similarities to European Handball, Korfball and Ultimate Frisbee.
