List of international goals scored by Amber Hearn
Amber Hearn is a New Zealand former professional footballer who represented the New Zealand women's national football team as a forward between 2004 and 2018. She scored 54 international goals in 125 caps for the "Football Ferns", making her the country's all-time top scorer. On 18 February 2004, Hearn made her debut for the senior New Zealand team aged 19 against Australia in the 2004 Australia Cup,[1] and scored her first international goal on 16 June 2008 against Argentina in Suwon, South Korea.[2]
Hearn scored three international hat-tricks, two against the Cook Islands and one against Vanuatu in Auckland, New Zealand. She has also netted twice on eight separate occasions.[3] Out of all her opponents, she scored the most against the Cook Islands, netting seven goals against the Polynesian side.[3] Hearn scored two goals at the Olympics, 19 at the OFC Women's Nations Cup, one in the FIFA Women's World Cup and four in OFC Olympic qualification. The remainder of her goals, 28, have come in friendlies.[3] Hearn's most productive year in terms of international goals was 2010, when she scored 16 goals in 13 games for the "Football Ferns".[3] Over a 15-year career with New Zealand, she won the 2010 and 2014 OFC Nations Cup, scoring in the 2010 final against Papua New Guinea.[3][4]
She played her final match for New Zealand against Japan on 10 June 2018 in a friendly.[1] Hearn announced her international retirement in February 2020, citing her desire to move into coaching.[1] "My goal was always for us to be successful on the world stage," she explained in 2020 following her announcement.[1] Hearn often insisted that she never took notice of her record-breaking exploits in front of goal and was more concerned with helping the "Football Ferns" compete on the world stage.[1]
