England Netball has today launched their bid to host the 2019 World Netball Cup in Liverpool.

The bid centres on the ACC Liverpool complex which is located on a World Heritage waterfront site, and includes the 8,300 capacity Echo Arena, Exhibition Centre, and BT Convention Centre.

England Netball Chairman Cheryl Danson OBE said: “Liverpool is an iconic city immersed in sport and, with its global reputation and warm welcome, would be the perfect host to showcase the Netball World Cup 2019 to the world.”

The bid forms part of UK Sport’s Gold Event Series, an ambitious programme investing over £40million of National Lottery funding to bring up to 100 of the world’s most prestigious sporting events to the UK by 2023.

Liz Nichol, Chief Executive of UK Sport and a former Chief Executive of England Netball, said: “UK Sport is delighted to support England Netball’s bid for the Netball World Cup 2019 through its Gold Event Series.

“Netball in England is thriving with unprecedented growth in participation, support from sponsors and exposure in the media.”

The host city of the World Netball Cup will be announced in 2015.
