About the Event
For the first time ever, world #1 — the Kelpies, Australia’s men’s netball team — will travel to England to take on the England men’s netball team, The Thorns, currently ranked among the top men’s teams in the world.
The Aurora Series, a three-match international test series, will take place at the Copper Box Arena in London and the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham. Each match will be played as a double-header alongside Netball Super League (NSL) fixtures, giving fans the chance to experience elite men’s and women’s netball together.
This marks a historic first for men’s netball — not only is it Australia’s first tour to England, but it’s also the first time an international men’s series is being showcased alongside the NSL, helping to attract new audiences and bring greater visibility to the sport.
