The 2012 AFNA Championships was a series organised by the Americas Federation of Netball Associations. It featured nine teams playing a series of netball test matches in July 2012 at Port of Spain's Jean Pierre Sports Complex. The hosts, Trinidad and Tobago, were joined by eight other national netball teams. Teams used the series to qualify for the 2014 Commonwealth Games and to gain INF World Rankings points.[1][2] Jamaica and Barbados eventually finished as winners and runners up.[3][4][5] It was Jamaica's 11th regional title.[6] Jamaica's Anna Kay Griffiths was named the MVP of the series.[7]
