The 2015 Netball Europe Open Championships was a tournament organised by Netball Europe. It featured nine teams playing a series of netball test matches in May 2015, at Belfast's Antrim Forum. It was effectively two separate tournaments played alongside each other. The main open tournament featured six of the top 12 ranked teams, including the hosts, Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales plus guest teams, South Africa and Trinidad and Tobago. A second level challenge tournament featured three teams ranked between 28 and 36 – the Republic of Ireland, Malta and Switzerland.[1][2][3] With a team coached by Tracey Neville and captained by Pamela Cookey, England were confirmed as the main open tournament winners after defeating Northern Ireland 64–22 in their final match. Cookey was also named player of the tournament.[4][5] South Africa finished second after defeating Trinidad and Tobago.[6][7] The Republic of Ireland won the second level challenge tournament after winning all four of their matches.[3] All 21 matches were livestreamed by QTV Sports/StreamUK with Alison Mitchell as the lead commentator.[1][2]
