The 2016 Netball Europe Open Challenge was a second level tournament organised by Netball Europe. It featured seven teams playing a series of netball test matches in May 2016 at Northumbria University's Sport Central. It was played alongside the first level tournament, the 2016 Netball Europe Open Championships. Gibraltar, Israel, Malta, the Republic of Ireland and Switzerland were joined by two guest teams, Grenada and the United States.[1][2][3][4] Grenada finished as overall winners after winning all five of their matches. However, the Republic of Ireland were declared winners of the European Section having defeated all three of their European opponents.[5][6][7] Israel's Nomi Komar was named Player of the Tournamment.[8] The tournament was livestreamed by QTV Sports and featured on Netball Europe's YouTube channel.[2][9]
