The 2016 ANZ Championship season was the ninth and last season of the ANZ Championship.[1][2][3] The season began on 1 April 2016 and concluded on 4 July 2016.[4] Southern Steel were minor premiers.[5][6] However they subsequently lost the New Zealand Conference Final to Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic [7] and were defeated in the semi-finals by Queensland Firebirds.[8] With a team coached by Roselee Jencke, captained by Laura Geitz and featuring Romelda Aiken, Clare McMeniman and Kim Ravaillion, Firebirds won the Australian Conference, the Challenge Trophy and the overall championship. Firebirds became the first and only team to retain the title. In a repeat of 2015, Firebirds defeated New South Wales Swifts in both the Australian Conference Final and the Grand Final.[9][10][11][12][13]

Pre-season
[edit]On 5 March 2016, Melbourne Vixens played Adelaide Thunderbirds in a pre-season practice match at Wanganui Park Secondary College. The match was organised by Netball Victoria and the Greater Shepparton City Council. During the match, Vixens' Tegan Philip suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury which ended her season.[44][45][46]
Between 18 and 20 March 2016, two separate three-day events were held simultaneously. Northern Mystics hosted Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic, Southern Steel, Adelaide Thunderbirds and Queensland Firebirds at The Trusts Arena while New South Wales Swifts hosted Melbourne Vixens, West Coast Fever, Central Pulse and Mainland Tactix at Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre. The two events experimented with a three-point scoring zone and rolling interchanges.[47][48][49][50] Vixens defeated Fever in the final of the Sydney tournament.[51]
