Before the series, a new ruling was announced to determine a winner in the event of the series ending 2–2. Each match of the 2024 Constellation Cup will be played to an outright result. If a match is tied at full time, extra time will be implemented as per the World Netball Rules of netball. Series Decider Time will be played to determine the outright winner of the Constellation Cup trophy. Scores will return to zero and play will consist of two seven-minute halves, with a half-time interval of four minutes. If, at the end of Series Decider Time, the scores are tied, the match will move into a period of Series Decider Additional Time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, play will continue until one team leads by two goals. There will be no break in play between Series Decider Time and Series Decider Additional Time.^[3][15][16]
