The ANZ Premiership has reached the halfway point of its first year, following the split of the transtasman league at the end of last season.
NNZ chief executive Jennie Wyllie said there had been many positives to come from the new competition, notably in its support.
Crowd attendances had been strong, particularly in the areas with established fan bases.
Wyllie praised the South Auckland fans for getting behind the new Northern Stars, saying the team had reignited that fan base.
Specific broadcast numbers were not yet available, but the indicative numbers suggested they had been similar to the transtasman league.
''We've got great progress in terms of our broadcast numbers are tracking really well.
''It's great to see the message of netball on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday getting through.
''I think Super Sundays have been a great innovation for us.
''What we're seeing is back-to-back games with great attendance.
''Invercargill was fantastic. They got a great crowd in and great viewership.''
Wyllie said the young talent in the premiership was another highlight.
It would ensure the national teams stayed strong, while also helping build depth at the top level.
The Mainland Tactix had struggled this year but she felt if it could make use of the new pathways the team could work its way up.
''We're seeing some amazing talent come through, with the Beko League underlying it.
''I know the Mainland Beko team have performed pretty well throughout the season.
''If you look at last weekend there was a much closer contest between the Steel and the Tactix.
''It's about coaches using their bench and getting them out there.
''So the resilience of some of the teams that have had probably disappointing results has been amazing and they're out there every week to win.
''So not particularly concerned, I think we know we've got the depth.
''This is year one of a longer term talent pathway.''
It is hard not to wonder how the Southern Steel would have fared had it been able to play the Australian teams.
While that was not an option for this year, it was something that remained in the pipeline.
''I think in the future that's absolutely doable,'' Wyllie said of a crossover with the Australian domestic league.
''Both countries at the moment are pretty focused on bedding in their elite domestic competition, so that's a competition in the future.''
