General information
The recognised international governing body of netball is the International Federation of Netball Associations (IFNA).[1] The organisation was founded in 1960 and originally named the International Federation of Netball and Women's Basketball.[1] It is based in Manchester, England.[1] IFNA has 67 national members which are grouped into five regional area: Africa, Asia, Americas, Europe and Oceania.[1] The IFNA is governed by a congress that meets every two years, a board of directors that meets three times a year, a Chief Executive Officer and a Secretariat.[1] It is also responsible for providing world rankings for national representative teams.[2] The IFNA organises several major international competitions including the Netball World Championships.[3] It is also a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code.[4]
History
In 1957, a pair of national netball organisations discussed the need to create an international governing body for the sport to help address issues like standardising the rules.[5] This conversation was started between England and Australia, while Australia was touring England.[5] In 1960, netball representatives from Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa and the West Indies finally gathered to create the needed organisation, the International Federation of Women's Basketball and Netball.[5] The meeting took place in Sri Lanka, with rules for the newly creating organisation being created.[5] A decision was made at this first meeting create a world championship competition for the sport to be held every four years, with the first event to be held in 1963 in Eastbourne, England.[5]
