The 2025 Constellation Cup was the 15th Constellation Cup series between Australia and New Zealand. It featured four netball test matches, played in October 2025.[1][2] The Australia team were coached by Stacey Marinkovich and captained by Liz Watson.[3][4] The New Zealand team was coached by Yvette McCausland-Durie and captained by Karin Burger.[5][6] Australia won the first two tests and led 2–0 going into the third test. However, New Zealand won the third and fourth tests to level the series at 2–2. The series was decided by a special extra-time period. The Series Decider took place immediately following the conclusion of the fourth and final test of the series. The decider was a 14-minute period of extra time, consisting of two seven-minute halves, with the score resetting to 0–0. Australia won the decider 12–11 with just four seconds remaining when Sophie Garbin scored the winning goal.[7][8][9][10][11] The main broadcasters for the series were Sky Sport (New Zealand), Fox Sports (Australia) and NetballPass worldwide.[1][12] It was also available to watch on Foxtel channels and services including Kayo Freebies and Binge.[1][13]
