The 2018 Taini Jamison Trophy Series was the tenth Taini Jamison Trophy series. New Zealand hosted Fiji, Jamaica and Malawi in a full tournament, played in March 2018, at the North Shore Events Centre. It was effectively a warm-up tournament, ahead of the 2018 Commonwealth Games.[1][2] The series was broadcast live on Sky Sport in New Zealand and on Kwesé Sports in Sub-Saharan Africa. It was also streamed live via Facebook.[2][3] With a team featuring Jhaniele Fowler Reid, Romelda Aiken and Shamera Sterling, Jamaica won their first Taini Jamison Trophy. During the tournament, they twice defeated New Zealand, once in the preliminary rounds and again in the final.[4][5][6][7] Despite winning the series, Netball New Zealand refused to allow Jamaica to take the actual trophy home, stating that "for insurance purposes... we can't really have it go offshore".[8][9][10][11]
