Australia's team uniforms for this month's Netball World Cup will make history, as the first to feature First Nations artwork in the design.

The team will join 15 other countries in South Africa for the tournament, which runs from July 28 to August 6.

The background represents the land, while lines in the background refer to First Nations people in Victoria. "This is really special to the group. The moment we get to put this dress on and run out for our first World Cup game, the girls are really going to love it. We're really excited to embrace the dress and embrace the history," Australian defender Courtney Bruce said.
