1979 World Netball Tournament

The 1979 World Netball Tournament was the fifth edition of the INF Netball World Cup, a quadrennial premier event in international netball. It was held in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, featuring 19 teams.

Australia, New Zealand and Trinidad and Tobago shared the title as there were no finals, instead the top 10 teams playing off in a round robin. Each of the top three teams won eight out of nine matches, losing once, to one of the other two: New Zealand defeated Trinidad and Tobago 49–33; Trinidad and Tobago defeated Australia 40–38; and Australia defeated New Zealand 38–36. The tournament rules of the time did not provide a way of determining an outright winner under the circumstances, so the three teams shared the title.
