The 2019 Netball World Cup Regional Qualifier – Europe was a tournament organised by Netball Europe. It featured three teams playing a series of netball test matches in January 2018 at Perth College UHI. The hosts Scotland were joined by Northern Ireland and Wales. As well as being a 2019 Netball World Cup qualifier, the teams also played for World Netball Rankings points. England automatically qualified for the 2019 Netball World Cup as hosts.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Scotland and Northern Ireland subsequently qualified for the main tournament with Wales missing out.[7][8][9][10] The series was streamed live on BBC Sport and on Netball Europe's YouTube channel.[11][12]
