The 2025 ANZ Premiership season was the ninth season of Netball New Zealand's ANZ Premiership. Northern Mystics won the minor premiership by finishing top of the table at the conclusion of the regular season.[1] The season was notable for introducing a number of rule changes: the two-point shot, the coach's box and time-outs.[2][3] The competition format also changed, with teams facing each other twice instead of three times during the regular season.[2] In the Elimination final, the Tactix defeated the Pulse 57–52. The Tactix then went on to defeat the defending champs the Northern Mystics 58–46 in the Grand Final.[4][5]
