Vitality Roses to play Jamaica in new four-year international series

16th to 17th November 2024 – BOOK NOW

England Netball have announced that the Vitality Roses will play Jamaica’s Sunshine Girls in a new four-year international test series played across both countries.

The Vitality Roses will play Jamaica in the new Vitality Netball Horizon Series on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 November 2024 at the AO Arena in Manchester on Monday 25 and Tuesday 26 November 2024 at the National Indoor Sports Centre in Kingston, Jamaica.

This announcement marks the start of a brand-new four-year series called the Vitality Netball Horizon Series that will be held across England and Jamaica, with two home matches to be played in England and two away matches played in Jamaica for the next four years.

As a new regular fixture in the international calendar, the Vitality Horizon Netball Series embodies a bold step into an exciting future for international netball. Building on an already great rivalry and looking to disrupt the world order of international netball this year and beyond, the Vitality Netball Horizon Series is truly representative of the look towards an exciting future that the series’ name evokes.

This test series will reignite the rivalry between the Vitality Roses and Jamaica, who are currently ranked third and fourth in the world respectively. The two sides last met in 2023 in a three-match test series played in Manchester and London, which saw the Vitality Roses defeat Jamaica 73-52 in the first match, take a narrow 58-61 in the second match, and claim the series with a 63-59 win in the third and final test.

The two sides did not meet in the draw at the Netball World Cup last summer, which saw the Vitality Roses earn an historic silver medal, whilst Jamaica finished just behind in third place.
