Northern Mystics play in the ANZ Premiership, the highest level of competitive netball in New Zealand. The Mystics are based in Auckland.
The team was founded in 2007 as an amalgamation of 2 existing teams from the newly defunct National Bank Cup, the Northern Force and Auckland Diamonds. The Mystics were created to compete in the new trans-Tasman league, the ANZ Championship, which held its first season in 2008.
2016 saw the last season of the ANZ Championship, and from 2017 onwards the Australian and New Zealander teams competed separately in their own national league competitions. The Mystics became part of the ANZ Premiership, the new netball championship in New Zealand.
In the first 4 seasons of the ANZ Premiership, the highest ranking achieved by the Mystics was 3rd. In 2021, however, they won their first minor premiership and went on to defeat Tactix in the Grand Final, earning their first ever championship in the new league.
The team plays most of their home games at The Trusts Arena.
