The Isle of Man (Manx: Mannin) were crowned winners of the Netball Europe Open Championship 2019 on 12th May. Manx Netball (Manx: Lieen Vluckan Mannin) secured the title after a victory over the Republic of Ireland by 57-45. The victory of the Manx nation's netball team means the Island will obtain their first world ranking in June. The European association (Netball Europe) was originally established in 1989/90 from a development within the International Netball Federation (INF) which created five regions: Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
