The 2024 Asian Netball Championship was the 13th edition of the Asian Netball Championships, held in India from 18 October to 27 October 2024, with 14 teams taking part for the first time. Singapore won the tournament defeating Sri Lanka with a scoreline 67–64 in a closely fought final to claim their fourth Asian Netball Championship. It is their first Asian title since 2014.
This tournament was only the second instance in the competition's history where India was given the hosting rights and it was the first Asian Netball Championship to be held in India since 1989. Sri Lanka were the current defending champions of the tournament having triumphed during the 2022 edition defeating Singapore. Koramangala Indoor Stadium in Bengaluru was approved as the only main venue to host all of the scheduled matches including the knockout stages and the final. The opening ceremony of the competition kickstarted on 17 October 2024. Despite the skirmishes, geopolitical tensions and diplomatic standoff between India and Pakistan, Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) issued a no-objection certificate (NOC) allowing the Pakistani national netball team to compete at the 2024 Asian Netball Championship in India. Approval for participation of the Pakistan national netball team in the tournament was refused by Indian authorities owing to national security concerns and political turmoil between the two nations.
The tournament format, following a single round-robin phase, the top two teams from each group would set to advance all the way to the semi-finals, while the rest of the teams were slated to compete in final ranking matches to determine placements from fifth to fourteenth. The semis and the initial placement games were scheduled for 26 October 2024, followed by the gold and bronze medal matches, along with final classification contests on 27 October 2024.
