The 2023 Netball World Cup Regional Qualifier – Americas was a tournament organised by Americas Netball. It featured nine teams playing a series of netball test matches in October 2022 at Kingston's National Indoor Sports Centre. The tournament served as an Americas qualifier for the 2023 Netball World Cup.[1][2][3] With a team captained by Jhaniele Fowler[4] and coached by Connie Francis, the hosts, Jamaica, won the series.[5] Jamaica had already qualified for the World Cup via the World Netball Rankings.[6] The second and third placed teams, Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados, qualified via this series.[7][8][9] Half of the matches were live-streamed. Throughout much of the Americas region, including all competing countries except the United States, the matches were shown on SportsMax TV. For everyone else, the games were on Netball Pass.[2]
