The 2019 Netball Europe Open Championships was a tournament organised by Netball Europe. It featured four teams playing a series of netball test matches in September 2019 at Belfast's Antrim Forum. The hosts Northern Ireland were joined by England, the Republic of Ireland and Wales. Scotland decided not to enter the tournament, citing concerns about "athlete wellbeing" following a "demanding season" which saw them compete in the 2019 Netball World Cup and as Strathclyde Sirens in the 2019 Netball Superleague. During the tournament Wales held England to a 51–51 draw. This saw Wales and England finish level with five points. However, with a team captained by Yasmin Parsons and coached by Sam Bird, England were declared the winners due to a better goal average, 1.704 to 1.622. Wales finished second following a 91–24 win over the Republic of Ireland. This saw them finish 2019 on a run of seven matches undefeated. Wales' Kyra Jones was named Player of the Tournament. The series was streamed live on Netball Europe's YouTube channel.
