The 2019 ECCB International Netball Series, also known as the 2019 OECS International Netball Series, was the inaugural ECCB International Netball Series. It was organised by the Caribbean Netball Association. Five national netball teams/Eastern Caribbean Central Bank members, including the hosts Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, played a series of netball test matches in June 2019 at Arnos Vale's Sporting Complex.[1][2][3] The series featured two rounds of round robin matches. Grenada and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines both finished the series with 13 points after they won six and drew one of their eight matches. However, Grenada had the better goal average, and as a result became the first winners of the Gloria Ballantyne Championship Trophy.[4][5][6][7][8] Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica and Saint Lucia all became eligible for INF World Rankings after playing eight test matches within a calendar year.[4][6] The series was streamed live on VC3TV's on YouTube channel.[9]
