2019 ANZ Premiership season


The 2019 ANZ Premiership season was the third season of the ANZ Premiership, the premier domestic netball league in New Zealand. The league was contested by six teams from around New Zealand, with a total of 47 matches played between February and June. Southern Steel were the defending premiers, though were knocked out of contention in the elimination final. The premiership was won by Central Pulse, who defeated the Northern Stars by four goals in the Grand Final.
The season was brought forward by two months to ensure it did not clash with the Netball World Cup, played in Liverpool in July 2019.

Format

The 2019 ANZ Premiership season followed the same format as the previous season.
Teams played 15 matches spread over 13 rounds for a 47 match season, ensuring each team played each other three times in the regular season. The second and third place teams qualified for the elimination final at the end of the season, with the winner of that match meeting the first place team in the Grand Final.
