The Mystics' playing strip is predominantly blue while their home venues are The Trusts Arena, Eventfinda Stadium and Vector Arena. Stars - Based in South Auckland, the Stars became the newest elite level netball team in 2017 and joined the five other established New Zealand franchises to form the six-strong standalone ANZ Premiership. The Stars are named after the Matariki star cluster which also features on the team's logo, and incorporates their club colours of purple and silver with the Pulman Arena as their main home venue. Despite their short history, the Stars have quickly evolved into a quality team and have featured in three Grand Finals (2019, 2022 and 2023), finishing runners-up on each occasion. They have also built a strong and connected support base in south Auckland, representing one of New Zealand's largest communities. Avis Magic - Based out of Hamilton and Tauranga, the Magic were formed in 1998 and represent the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Gisborne regions. The oldest of the six New Zealand franchise teams, the Magic were formed following the merger of the Waikato Wildcats and Bay of Plenty Magic.

From 2008-2016 they were the most successful New Zealand team, including being grand finalists on three occasions.
