FAST5 is netball like you’ve never seen before.
FAST5 is a fun variation of traditional netball, developed by the International Netball Federation to offer a faster and more spectator-friendly version of the game. It differs from standard netball by having only five players per side, shorter match durations, and innovative rules such as power plays and super shots. These super shots allow teams to earn multiple points from designated zones on the court during specific periods, adding a strategic layer to the game.
Introduced to inject more excitement and broaden netball’s appeal, FAST5 also features a lively game-day atmosphere, complete with music, fan interactions, and creates a festival-like environment, making it distinct from the more traditional formats.
New Zealand has been the dominate team winning 7 of the 11 FAST5 Netball World Series, but it’s always been close and Australia has won the last 2 editions in 2022 and 2023 on New Zealand’s home soil (including defeating New Zealand in 2023!) As always it’s any teams game, but if the Aussies can get a hat trick, it’ll be an incredible feat.
FAST5 2022, 2023 and 2024 are hosted by New Zealand, with 2024 the final edition in Christchurch. The city of Christchurch is the gateway to New Zealand’s rugged South Island, but also a short hop from the more tropical North Island. Whether you head North or South, or both, New Zealand offers a many amazing destinations to visit. You can fly between Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown or you could rent a car or campervan and drive between all three, or just from Christchurch to Queenstown after the netball and fly home from there. New Zealand offers incredible scenery and activities for adrenalin junkies, but also plenty of things to do for those who just want to take it slow. Whether you’re up for a bike ride, a hike, a mountain-side picnic, a cruise through waterfall filled fjords or ready to indulge in a world-class dining experience, you can find it all in New Zealand.
We’ve been helping fans travel to netball events around the world since the 1995 World Cup in Birmingham and recently to World Cup’s in Singapore, Sydney, Liverpool and Cape Town. We were also the proud Exclusive Travel Partner for FAST5 2016, 2017 and 2018 in Melbourne. We invite you to join us in Christchurch for a fun weekend of netball, before venturing north or south to experience what New Zealand has to offer.

Christchurch, the main city on New Zealand’s South Island, is a vibrant place where old meets new. Despite past earthquakes, it has rebuilt itself with a mix of historic buildings and modern designs, like the unique Cardboard Cathedral and the lively Riverside Market. The city is also known for its peaceful Avon River and large Botanic Gardens.
Beyond Christchurch, the South Island is full of stunning natural beauty. You’ll find impressive fjords, tall mountains, and clear lakes. Adventurers will love Queenstown for its thrilling activities, while nature lovers will be amazed by the scenic beauty of Fiordland National Park and the famous Milford Sound.
Over on the North Island, the scene changes with its mix of cultures, hot springs, and green landscapes. Auckland, the largest city, offers big-city fun with beautiful countryside close by, including the movie set of Hobbiton and the volcanic landscapes of Tongariro National Park. The city of Rotorua is a great place to experience Maori culture with traditional performances and food. A trip to Waiheke Island is recommend for wine and nature lovers, and is a short ferry ride from the city.
Both islands of New Zealand offer a great mix of urban excitement and many natural wonders.
In November, which is late spring in Christchurch, the climate is generally mild and pleasant. Temperatures typically range from about 8°C in the early mornings and nights to around 19°C during the day. It’s a great time for outdoor activities as the weather is usually stable, with increasing sunny days.
However, it’s still wise to be prepared for occasional rain showers and some chilly mornings, especially since the weather can be quite variable. Layers are recommended for this transitional season, as conditions can change throughout the day.
