History

Taini Jamison

The trophy is named in honour of Taini Jamison, the former New Zealand head coach. Jamison coached New Zealand when they won the 1967 World Netball Championships. The trophy features a hammerhead shark pattern around the top and base of the trophy, with Taini Jamison's Rotorua Netball Māori motif front and centre. [1] [2] [3] Prior to her death in 2023, Jamison regularly presented the trophy in person to the series winners. [4] [5] [6]

Early tournaments

New Zealand won the inaugural 2008 series, defeating England 2–1. [7] In 2009, New Zealand played a World 7 team coached by Julie Fitzgerald and captained by Natasha Chokljat. The World 7 won the series 2–1. [8] [9] [10]

Controversaries

In 2018, Jamaica won the series. During a full four team tournament, they twice defeated New Zealand, once in the preliminary rounds and again in the final. [11] [12] [13] [14] However, Netball New Zealand subsequently refused to allow Jamaica to take the actual trophy home, stating that "for insurance purposes... we can't really have it go offshore". [15] [16] [17] [18]

In 2022 complications with passports and visas saw the Jamaica team's arrival in New Zealand delayed. This resulted in the original test series been cancelled. It also saw Jamaica playing with a severely under strength team. [19] [20] [21] Following an investigation, World Netball would later fine Netball Jamaica GBP £5,000 (NZD $9,800) for failing to fulfill the original fixtures planned for the series. [22]

In 2023, before the series started, England faced criticism from Netball New Zealand and New Zealand head coach, Noeline Taurua, for selecting an understrength "B team". [23] [24] [25] [26] However they subsequently defeated New Zealand 55–54 in the opening test. [27] [28] [29]
