The Australian Netball League (ANL) is a national netball competition in Australia, serving as a pathway for players to develop their skills and progress to higher levels of the sport. Established in 2008, the league features teams representing various states and territories, providing a platform for emerging talent to showcase their abilities. The ANL operates under the governance of Netball Australia and consists of a series of matches played throughout the year. It plays a crucial role in identifying and nurturing players who may eventually compete in the elite Suncorp Super Netball league, which is the top tier of netball in Australia.
