The 2018 ANZ Premiership season was the second season of the ANZ Premiership, the premier domestic netball league in New Zealand. In 2018 the league was contested by six teams from around New Zealand, with a total of 47 matches played between May and August. Southern Steel won their second consecutive premiership, defeating minor premiers Central Pulse in the Grand Final.[1]

Format[]

The 2018 ANZ Premiership season follows the same format as the inaugural season in 2017.

The official pre-season tournament was held at Te Wānanga o Raukawa in Otaki from 20–22 April, with all six teams competing.[2] The regular season started on 6 May, after the 2018 Commonwealth Games,[3] with a 13-week round-robin stage to be followed by a two-match finals series. Matches throughout the season are held on Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays. Three Super Sunday events are held during the 2018 season, with three matches featuring all six teams being played back to back at one venue.[4]

During the round-robin stage, each team plays every other team three times, accumulating competition points for wins or losses of five match points or less. The three highest ranked teams at the end of the round-robin stage progress to the finals series: the 2nd- and 3rd-ranked teams play off in the elimination final, with the winner competing against the 1st-ranked team in the grand final on 12 August.[4]
