2025 Netball World Youth Cup was the ninth Netball World Youth Cup tournament. Eighteen teams, including the hosts Gibraltar, featured in a series of matches played in September 2025 at Europa Sports Park and Tercentenary Sports Hall. Australia won the tournament after defeating New Zealand 63âÂÂ48 in the final. Australia's Lily Graham was named Player of the Tournament. England finished the tournament in third place after defeating South Africa 55âÂÂ35 in a play-off. The series was live streamed on NetballPass and on YouTube. World Netball reported that the tournament reached more than 26 million people across its digital platforms, the highest audience recorded for the competition.
Gibraltar qualified automatically as the host nation. The others qualified via the 2017 Netball World Youth Cup and a series of regional qualifying tournaments.
On 19 September, it was reported that, due to unforeseen circumstances both Sri Lanka and Zambia had not arrived in Gibraltar. As a result they both had to forfeit their Round 1 matches. Wins were recorded for New Zealand and England in these matches, with 2 points awarded to each team. By 21 September, the situation remained unresolved and World Netball decided to withdraw Sri Lanka and Zambia from the whole tournament. All their matches were subsequently forfeited and their opponents were each awarded 2 points.
