The 1999 World Netball Championships (also known as the Vodafone World Netball Championships for sponsorship reasons^[1]) was the tenth edition of the INF Netball World Cup, a quadrennial premier event in international netball. It was held in Christchurch, New Zealand, from 21 September to 2 October 1999 and featured 26 teams with the debut of Niue, Tonga and Zambia. All matches were held at the Westpac Arena.^[2]

Fourteen teams entered the preliminary round with four teams qualifying to the main round where they were joined by the top twelve teams from the 1995 championships. The main round saw sixteen teams remaining, be split into two groups of eight with the top four qualifying to the quarter-finals while the remaining eight played in classification matches for 9th–16th placings.

Australia and New Zealand defeated England and Jamaica in the semi-finals, for a repeat of the 1995 final. Australia defended its seventh title defeating New Zealand in the final on a final-second shot by Sharelle McMahon, after coming back from six goals down at three-quarter time. England claimed the bronze medal, defeating Jamaica by fourteen goals.

But a switch to bring in Gail Higgins into goal attack saw the Scots win by 29 goals.^[6] Zambia had the closest match of the opening day with their match over Papua New Guinea having a margin of only two goals in what was a see-saw match.^[5] There was also wins for Fiji,^[7] Tonga and Malaysia who opened their 1999 campaign with a win.^[6]
