New Zealander · Auckland, New Zealand · Born 25 June 1982Black Ferns legend and New Zealand's most decorated women's rugby player — five World Cup winner's medals, captain of the dominant Black Ferns side and the player considered the greatest in the history of the New Zealand women's game.
Fiao'o Fa'amausili is a Black Ferns legend and New Zealand's most decorated women's rugby player, a hooker whose leadership and consistency across five Rugby World Cup-winning campaigns — 2006, 2010, 2014, 2017 and 2021 — make her case as the greatest player in the history of the New Zealand women's game. She captained the Black Ferns through much of their era of global dominance, combining traditional front-row graft with genuine ball-playing skill, and her induction into the World Rugby Hall of Fame recognised a career that helped establish New Zealand as the benchmark for women's rugby worldwide.
