- Scotland and Northern Ireland qualified for the Netball World Cup by finishing as the top two sides at a four-team qualifying tournament held over three days in East Kilbride.
- Wales and Republic of Ireland failed to qualify, with Wales eliminated after a 55-48 loss to Scotland in Sunday's final match — their only remaining path to the finals.
- Northern Ireland sealed their spot via a 73-50 win over Republic of Ireland in Sunday's early match, having earlier edged Wales 50-49 on the opening day.
- Scotland capped a dominant qualifying run with the 55-48 victory over Wales, having opened with an 84-29 rout of Republic of Ireland and beaten Northern Ireland 67-43 on day two.
- The Netball World Cup will be held in Sydney, Australia, from 25 August to 5 September 2027.
Why it matters: Two of the four home nations competing in East Kilbride advance to the Netball World Cup in Sydney (25 August – 5 September 2027), leaving Wales and Republic of Ireland without a path to the tournament after Sunday's results.
