The agreement enhances Vitality’s presence in netball as it is primarily the dominant commercial partner of the sport in the UK.
The company is a long-standing partner of England Netball and holds naming rights for the national team – the Vitality Roses – as well as title sponsorship rights for the Vitality Netball International Series.
The Netball World Cup will be the first held in Africa.
Clare Briegal, World Netball chief executive, said: “We are thrilled to have Vitality on board as the title partner for our pinnacle event once again. This is a special and significant time, not just for the host, South Africa, but also for the African continent.”

Firoze Bhorat, chief marketing officer of Vitality’s parent company Discovery Group, added: “We’re thrilled to play a role in hosting the most prestigious event of a sport that’s so loved, both locally and around the world.
