Meet Our NWYC2025 Mascot:
The Barbary Partridge
Netball World Youth Cup 2025 (NWYC2025) has today launched its official mascot, giving the netball family the opportunity to name her.
The NWYC2025 mascot is a proud Barbary Partridge, a bird with a rich history and a strong connection to Gibraltar. She’s not just any partridge. She’s a symbol of resilience, spirit, and the power of community!
she’s bold and confident.


Why is she special?
• She can only be found only here in mainland Europe.
• She’s adapted to life in rocky, scrubby hillsides – a true Gibraltarian survivor.
• Her beautiful brown crown and chestnut markings make her stand out.
• She’s determined, fast on her feet, and never gives up! The perfect symbol for youth netballers!
Her Personality:
• Playful & Curious: Always exploring her surroundings.
• Fast & Resilient: Quick to run but always finds her way back.
• Proud & Protective: She’s a team player, just like our netball girls, always looking out for her friends.
• A True Local: She’s Gibraltar’s own and ready to welcome the world to her home.
A Chance to Name Her!
Be creative. Think of names that reflect her personality, her role as a host, and Gibraltar’s unique environment.
