Notes
  • ^1 It was initially planned that Ireland would send an All-Ireland team, featuring players from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. However no players from the Republic were selected for the final squad. As a result, it was effectively a Northern Ireland team that competed in the tournament.[13][18][21]
  • ^2 The United States were represented by a Netball America team.[22]
