Court and Net Team Sports

Dame Noeline Taurua, born on 26 March 1968 in Papakura, is a New Zealand netball coach and former representative player. She played 34 test matches for the Silver Ferns between 1993 and 1999, winning silver at the 1998 Commonwealth Games and bronze at the 1995 Netball World Championships, before a knee injury ended her playing career. As a coach she led the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic for eleven years, guided the Sunshine Coast Lightning to back-to-back premierships in 2017 and 2018, and became head coach of the Silver Ferns, who won the 2019 Netball World Cup under her. She was made a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2020 New Year Honours for services to netball.
