The Anthem of the Netherlands Antilles was the untitled anthem of the Netherlands Antilles. It was written in English by Zahira Hiliman from Sint Maarten and translated into the Papiamento language by Lucille Berry-Haseth from Curaçao. The anthem was written in two of the three official languages of the Netherlands Antilles – English and Papiamento, and adopted in 2000. In addition, many of the islands in the Netherlands Antilles had their own regional anthems.
In 2004, an adapted version of the anthem was used by the West Indies national rugby league team before their match against South Africa.
On 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved into Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the three public bodies of the Caribbean Netherlands.
