Previous Netball Festivals have been held in Adelaide, Auckland, Brisbane, Christchurch, Cook Islands, Fiji, Gold Coast, Singapore, Vancouver and Perth.

The name 'Golden Oldies' does not mean your team cannot play Netball to the best of its ability or to its strengths. The sides you are drawn against will reflect the level of play which you have told us your team prefers - ranging from 'competitive' to 'social' and anywhere in between. The difference is we don't publish the scores and there is no overall winner. Age is no barrier except you have to have reached 35 years to participate.

The 2009 World Festival in Queenstown, New Zealand will continue the philosophy of 'Fun, Friendship and Fraternity' which is a principal reason for the success of this sporting movement. It is another opportunity to travel to a different and exciting tourism, sporting and lifestyle destination.
