Melbourne Phoenix were an
Australian netball team that represented
Netball Victoria in the
Commonwealth Bank Trophy. Between
1997 and
2007, together with
Melbourne Kestrels, they were one of two teams to represent Netball Victoria in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy era. Phoenix were the inaugural CBT champions and went on to become the competition's most successful team, winning five premierships. In
2008, when the Commonwealth Bank Trophy was replaced by the
ANZ Championship, Phoenix and Kestrels merged to form
Melbourne Vixens.[1][2][3]
