Sky Sports has announced that it will show the 2015 Netball World Cup in Sydney live.

The broadcaster will air coverage of England's campaign throughout the tournament, which will begin in August, as well as the semi-finals and final.

Defending champions Australia will be among the teams competing for World Cup glory at Sydney's Olympic Park.

Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said: "There's never been a better time to be a netball fan with participation up and sell-out crowds at Superleague matches, so we're delighted to add the World Cup to the Sky Sports schedule.

"We're proud of our netball coverage and we can't wait to follow the home nations teams at the World Cup later this year. The competition strengthens our commitment to women's sport even further which this year alone includes the Solheim Cup, England Women's rugby and for the first time every ball of the Women's Ashes."

England lost by one point against Australia and New Zealand in the Glasgow Commonwealth Games last year.
