2015 ANZ Championship season#Grand Final

The 2015 season saw some major format changes. The league introduced separate Australian and New Zealand conferences, a restructured six-team Finals Series and a new competition, the Challenge Trophy. Teams continued to play 13 games – eight home-and-away matches against teams in their own conference and five alternating home or away games against teams in the other conference.{{cite web|url=https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/sport/netball/anz-championship-to-split-into-australian-nz-conferences-6147429|title=ANZ Championship to split into Australian-NZ Conferences|publisher=www.tvnz.co.nz|date=19 November 2014|access-date=10 May 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://www.netballnz.co.nz/news/detail/anz-championship-introduces-new-initiatives|title=ANZ Championship introduces new initiatives|publisher=www.netballnz.co.nz|date=19 November 2014|access-date=11 May 2021}}

The ANZ Championship also introduced draws for the first time. During the regular season, drawn games would see both teams get a point each. Extra time will only be played during the Finals Series. On 15 March, the Round 3 match between New South Wales Swifts and Queensland Firebirds finished 47–47. It was the first official draw in the eight seasons of the league.{{cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-15/swifts-steal-draw-with-firebirds/6321070|title=NSW Swifts grab draw with Queensland Firebirds in trans-Tasman netball|publisher=www.abc.net.au|date=15 March 2015|access-date=11 May 2021}}

{{2015 ANZ Championship ladder}}

The 2015 season saw the introduction of the Ranfurly Shield-style, Challenge Trophy. The trophy was available to win every time the holder played at home. Once a visiting team defeats the title holders, the trophy is theirs to protect and hold against all challengers in every home game during the regular season until they are beaten. A pre-season draw saw West Coast Fever declared the inaugural holder and they defended the trophy for first time on 8 March in Round 2 against Northern Mystics.{{cite web|url=https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/netball/netball-mystics-keen-bring-down-fever|title=Netball: Mystics keen to bring down Fever|publisher=www.odt.co.nz|date=7 March 2015|access-date=11 May 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/netball/netball-challenge-steel-perth|title=Netball: Challenge for Steel in Perth|publisher=www.odt.co.nz|date=14 March 2015|access-date=11 May 2021}} Fever subsequently enjoyed a nine-game unbeaten run in the league.
