Netball in Tonga is a popular sport, usually played by girls on Saturdays during the winter, though games can be played at all times of the year.[1]
Tonga Netball Association is Tonga's governing body for netball. They are a young organisation having been established in 2012.

With the help of Netball Australia and the Australian Government's Pacific Sports Partnership program, netball in Tonga has once again made a comeback.[2]
