LAST TIME THEY MET
The Australian Diamonds are the reigning Constellation Cup champions after claiming series extra-time in last year’s 2-2 finish.
The 2025 series brought the heat, with both nations sweeping on home soil and going down to the wire in a fiery extra-time battle.
Despite losing Match 4, the Diamonds stepped up to claim the cup in dramatic circumstances.
Fast forward to this year, and Australia has won all but one match in 2026 to remain on top of the World Netball Rankings.
New Zealand come into this series full of confidence following a Commonwealth Games gold medal in Glasgow in August.
