Maia Roos has rapidly ascended through the rugby ranks since debuting for the Auckland Storm in 2019. A talented athlete and leader, she served as Head Girl at Tamaki College and played two matches for the NZ Barbarians in 2020. Maia was also part of the inaugural Blues women’s team, further establishing her presence in the sport.
Roos made her Test debut for the Black Ferns against England in Northampton in 2021. As a key member of the team, she contributed to their victory in the Rugby World Cup 2021, culminating in her nomination for World Rugby’s 15’s Breakthrough Player of the Year following a standout tournament.
In 2023, Maia Roos made history by becoming the youngest captain of the Black Ferns at just 21 years old. She led the team against her country of birth, the USA, and guided them to victory in the 2023 Pacific Four Series. Her leadership qualities were further recognized when she was named co-captain of the Blues for the 2024 Super Rugby Aupiki season, alongside Ruahei Demant.
