2011 Constellation Cup

The 2011 Constellation Cup was the 2nd Constellation Cup series played between Australia and New Zealand. The series featured five netball test matches. The series was effectively two separate series played before and after the 2011 World Netball Championships. In June 2011, Australia traveled to New Zealand for the New World Series. The Australia team was coached by Norma Plummer and captained by Natalie von Bertouch. New Zealand were coached by Ruth Aitken and captained by Temepara George and Casey Williams. Australia won the opening test before New Zealand leveled the series at 1–1. In October 2011, New Zealand traveled to Australia for the Holden Netball Test Series. This time the Australia team was coached by Lisa Alexander and captained by Catherine Cox. New Zealand also saw a change in their leadership with Waimarama Taumaunu taking over as head coach and Laura Langman taking on the captaincy. After winning the third test, New Zealand led the series 2–1. However, Australia won the final two tests to win the series 3–2.
