The team represents the Greater Western Sydney region of New South Wales, as well as Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory. The team was formed in 2016, during the disbanding of the ANZ Championship. Giants Netball is owned by Netball NSW and is allied with the elite Australian Football League club, the Greater Western Sydney Giants. Home games are played at the State Sports Centre, Qudos Bank Arena and the AIS Arena in Canberra. Contents 1 History 1.1 2017 - 20 : Successive finals 2 Players 3 Competitive record 4 Canberra Giants 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History Following the dissolving of the trans - Tasman ANZ Championship competition in 2016, Netball Australia announced the creation of a new national Netball league, which would feature the five original Australian teams and three additional teams. In May 2016, Netball Australia confirmed that Netball NSW ( in a strategic alliance with the Greater Western Sydney Giants AFL club ) was one of three preferred license holders for the new teams. Giants Netball made their first stride as a professional sporting club when they announced former assistant coach of the Australia national team Julie Fitzgerald as the inaugural head coach of the team. The club then began assembling a strong squad over the coming months, a process which culminated in the appointment of Kimberlee Green as captain, a player with 72 national team caps. 2017 - 20 : successive finals The 2017 Suncorp Super Netball season saw the debut of Giants Netball. The club was struck with a season - ending injury to captain Kimberlee Green in the early part of the season. Green was later replaced by Sarah Wall. Despite this setback, the Giants would finish third ( out of eight teams ) at the end of the regular season, winning ten of their fourteen games and defeating each of the other seven teams in the competition. They then defeated Collingwood and Melbourne Vixens in successive finals before falling well short in the Grand Final to Sunshine Coast Lightning. The following season the Giants finished first on the regular season ladder and won the minor premiership, though they crashed out the finals series in straight sets. Serena Guthrie, Rebecca Bulley and Susan Pettitt ( three starting players ) all departed the club at the end of the season, with Bulley and Pettitt retiring from the game and Guthrie returning to play in England.
