History
Foundation
In 1974, the Trinidad and Tobago pioneer and administrator, Lystra Lewis played a leading role in establishing the Caribbean Netball Association.[3] The CNA remains headquartered in Trinidad and Tobago.[2]
Competitions
The Caribbean Netball Association organises two major annual tournaments. These are the ECCB International Netball Series and the Jean Pierre Caribbean Youth Netball Tournament. The latter tournament is named after Jean Pierre, the former Trinidad and Tobago netball international and politician. The inaugural tournament was played in 1998 and was hosted by Antigua and Barbuda and won by Jamaica. It has been held almost annually ever since. Sixteen countries from across the Caribbean are eligible to participate. In 2025 it is celebrated its 21st edition.[1][4]
