World Netball's Americas region includes North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean.[1] The region covers 54 nations, of which 15 have national governing bodies as of 2021.[2] Each year, the region hosts two tournaments: the CNA U16 Championship and the AFNA Senior Championship. World Netball was formerly called the "International Netball Federation" or INF.
