About the NSW Swifts:

Owned and operated by Netball NSW, the NSW Swifts are the reigning Champions of Suncorp Super Netball. The NSW Swifts claimed the inaugural Trans-Tasman ANZ Championship title in 2008, carrying on the Club’s successes from the previous Australian National League – the Commonwealth Bank Trophy – in which they competed in as the Sydney Swifts, winning four premierships in the process. The NSW Swifts now compete in the Suncorp Super Netball competition against the Melbourne Vixens, Queensland Firebirds, Adelaide Thunderbirds, West Coast Fever, Sunshine Coast Lightning, Magpies Netball and GIANTS Netball. With seven Premierships to the Club’s name (1 ANZ, 4 Commonwealth Bank, 2 Suncorp Super Netball), the Club looks every year to replicate its successes through hard work, honesty and setting high standards on and off the court.
