Our history

The Melbourne Vixens franchise was launched in 2008, following the amalgamation of the Melbourne Phoenix and Melbourne Kestrels elite netball teams that participated in the pre-existing National Netball League Competition (1997-2007).

The Melbourne Vixens compete in Australia’s premier netball league, Suncorp Super Netball.

The Melbourne Vixens proudly represent Victoria’s governing body for netball in Victoria.
