The World University Championships were a series of netball tournaments, played between 2012 and 2018, and organized by the International Netball Federation and the Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire. Great Britain won the inaugural 2012 tournament. South Africa were the tournaments most successful team, finishing as runners up in both 2012 and 2018 and winning the 2016 tournament. Uganda won the 2018 tournament.[1] Ahead of the 2020 championships, FISU pulled netball from its program, writing to the International Netball Federation – in a letter that was obtained by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation – to tell them that the sport was too Commonwealth-focused and that they had failed to ensure its top-ranked nations were regularly participating at the event.[2] Australia, England and Jamaica were notable absentees from the 2018 tournament.[3]
