Together with Brunel Hurricanes, Celtic Dragons, Leeds Carnegie, Loughborough Lightning, Northern Thunder, Team Bath and Team Northumbria, the Mavericks were founder members of the league.[1][2] The team was originally sponsored by The Galleria, an outlet store in Hatfield, and as a result were known as the Galleria Mavericks.[3][4] After playing and losing in the first two Grand Finals, the Mavericks won their first Netball Superleague title after defeating Loughborough Lightning by 43–39 in the 2007–08 Grand Final. Mavericks' Louisa Brownfield was the top scorer in the final. Other members of the team included Amanda Newton and Karen Atkinson.[5][6][7]

Hertfordshire Mavericks

In 2009–10 the team was renamed Hertfordshire Mavericks.[2] During this era they were also referred to as University of Hertfordshire Mavericks.[8] In 2011, with a team featuring Louisa Brownfield, Layla Guscoth and Lindsay Keable, Mavericks' won their second Netball Superleague title after defeating Surrey Storm by 57–46 in the Grand Final.[9][10]

benecosMavericks

In July 2016 Mavericks signed a sponsorship deal with the natural beauty brand, benecos.[11] In September 2017 benecos became Mavericks main sponsor and the team name changed from Hertfordshire Mavericks to benecosMavericks.[12] They subsequently used this name during the 2018 season.[13]
