The organisation's stated objectives for Jamaica netball are to achieve national and international success in competition, encourage greater participation and spectator involvement, and ensure excellence in all spheres of the sport.

This new entity superseded the Jamaica Netball Association (JNA), which was founded in 1958, and brings with it fundamental changes to how the sport is administered going forward.

[6] As a part of the change, NJ will now have a maximum of three 2-year term limits for its presidents effective 2015.

[7][8][9] The status of a charitable organization also meant sponsors and donors would receive tax relief for cash and in-kind donations that are treated as an allowable charitable expense under Section 13(1)(q) of the Jamaica Income Tax Act.

[15] As a charitable organization, Netball Jamaica actively seeks to work with community groups, educational institutions, sporting clubs, youth organizations, charities and charities, to build their capacity in developing women and children through the sport of netball.
