After a competition review by Netball NSW last year, it was recommended that the state titles and social masters be played across the same weekend and location.
Over the course of Saturday and Sunday over 400 players from 43 teams hit the courts, with just under 7,000 goals scored.
Netball NSW Competitions Manager Claire Dale said the weekend was a huge success and thanked the local community for its contribution.
"This is the first year we've run these events together and it took a huge amount of work by a lot of people, not least the wonderful netball community of Tamworth," she said.
"What we love about the State Masters and Social Masters is that there are games for everyone. Some people want to play for competition, others just want a bit of fun and this caters for both."

The region was well represented on the court and figured amongst the winners with Glen Innes' Kathleen Taminiau judged the best and fairest player for the over-35s masters and Gunnedah the best and fairest team.
Glen Innes meanwhile finished runners-up in the over-40s masters and were joint winners of the best and fairest team award with eventual champions Wyong.
In the social masters Gunnedah were awarded the best and fairest team in the over-35s competitive division, and won bronze in the over-40s competitive division.
