Hayley Bowden (nee Moorwood) became New Zealand women's football's first centurion when coming on as a substitute against the USA in the 2012 Olympic Women's Football Tournament quarter-final. It was her 86th "A" international, with a further 14 appearances having been made in non-cap-earning internationals
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Abby Erceg became the first player in New Zealand football, male or female, to make 100 "A" international appearances for her country when captaining her country against Tonga in the 2014 OFC Women's Nations Cup tournament.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Ria Percival was next to achieve the feat, against DPR (North) Korea on home turf on 8 February 2015, and a month later, Katie Hoyle reached her ton against Spain on 5 March.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Amber Hearn became the Football Ferns' fourth centurion when taking to the field against Holland at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup Finals.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Ali Riley became our fifth centurion when playing against Australia in the first of two internationals in June 2016, while a month later, a substitute appearance by Kirsty Yallop against South Africa brought up her century of appearances for her country.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Betsy Hassett and Annalie Longo have grown up playing football together, so it was rather fitting that they should both make their 100th appearance for NZ against world champions the USA in September 2017, in a match which also saw Kelley O'Hara bring up her century - quite possibly the first women's international in the history of the game to see three women's players realising the same milestone simultaneously.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Ria Percival became the country's most capped player on 25 November 2018, as she led the Football Ferns to a 10-0 victory over Fiji. It was her 133rd cap. And on 10 March 2020, she became the first Kiwi to earn 150 caps for her country against Norway at the Algarve Cup.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Ali Riley became the second player to earn 150 caps for New Zealand, but will want to forget the occasion - a 5-0 thrashing by Portugal in Hamilton. Later in 2003, she became the first player to captain her country fifty times in a 2-1 loss to Chile, a match in which Betsy Hassett clocked up her 150th cap and scored the Football Ferns' 550th goal in international football.
