The 2021 Vitality Roses Reunited Series was a three-match series, contested between England and Jamaica from 28 November to 5 December 2021. England won the series after winning the first two matches, and Jamaica won the final match.

Background[]

England and Jamaica last played each other during the 2020 Netball Nations Cup; Jamaica won that match.[1] Jamaica had planned to tour England in January 2021, though that series was postponed due to travel restrictions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] It was the first time since the 2020 Netball Nations Cup that England played a match at home with spectators.[2]

Prior to the series, England played a warm up match against an England A team, and Jamaica played two warm up fixtures against England A.[4] The first match of the Vitality Roses Reunited Series was held at the Copper Box Arena in London, and the remaining two fixtures were at the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham.[2]
