Netball New Zealand Chief Executive Raelene Castle is excited that New Zealand gets to hold another International Netballing event.

"Having the opportunity to host the first Fast5 Netball World Series in Auckland is a real priviledge and something extra that the passionate Netball fans of New Zealand can embrace." She said

The name Fast5 reflects the innovative netball rule changes with on-court team numbers reduced from 7 players to 5 and three goal point scoring zones.
