Netball Jamaica is the main governing body for netball in Jamaica. It was founded in 1958 as the Jamaica Netball Association. It is affiliated to World Netball, Americas Netball, the Caribbean Netball Association and the Jamaica Olympic Association. It is responsible for organising and administering the Jamaica national netball team and the Netball Jamaica Elite League.
History Netball Jamaica was originally formed in 1958 as the Jamaica Netball Association by Pancho Rankine, Margaret Beckford and Margarietta St. Juste. In 1959 it became a member of the West Indies Netball Board and an associate member of the All England Netball Association. It was subsequently invited to send a team to the West Indies Netball Championship in Montserrat in August 1959. Jamaica made their Test debut at this tournament. In 2013, the JNA was rebranded as Netball Jamaica.
