The National Bank Cup was New Zealand's principal netball competition. It was founded in 1998. From 2008, it was replaced by the ANZ Championship.
[edit] Format
In the rounds, each team played every other team once, then the top four teams played off for the cup using the Page-McIntyre system.
The Southern Sting were the last champions of the National Bank Cup. They won seven titles and three runner up places out of the ten seasons, with at least four international players in their team per year (peaking with 6 in 1999 and 2002).
