Black Ferns co-captain Ruahei Demant was the big winner at the NZ Rugby Awards, taking out three honours to recognise her 2022 achievements.
Demant, 27, was named as the Kelvin R Tremain Memorial Player of the Year - just the third woman to receive the award, after Black Ferns teammates Kendra Cocksedge (2018) and Sarah Hirini (2021).
The Black Ferns co-captain also added the award for Māori Player of the Year and the Black Ferns Player of the Year, heading off teammates Hirini, Stacey Fluhler and Theresa Fitzpatrick.
The awards were a celebration of the Rugby World Cup winners, after capturing the nation's hearts this year.
The Black Ferns were named New Zealand Team of the Year, while director of rugby Wayne Smith was named as the New Zealand Coach of the Year.
National awards for Demant and Smith come after the pair were both recognised by World Rugby, winning the Women's 15s Player of the Year and World Coach of the Year respectively.
Fluhler was also awarded Try of the Year for her crucial score in the Black Ferns' World Cup final against England.
Black Ferns front rower Luka Connor was also named inaugural winner of Super Rugby Aupiki Player of the Year, after a breakthrough season for Chiefs Manawa earned her national selection.
Ardie Savea was named as the All Blacks Player of the Year, after a dominant 12 months in the black jersey, even if the loose forward was snubbed in World Rugby Player of the Year awards.
Away from the international game, Wellington were awarded New Zealand Men's National Team of the Year, after a season that saw the Lions win both the NPC and Ranfurly Shield.
Canterbury's all-conquering Farah Palmer Cup side were recognised with the Women's National Team of the Year, as Blair Baxter was also named as the Women's National Coach of the Year.
A sixth Super Rugby title in six years propelled Crusaders maestro Scott Robertson to National Men's Coach of the Year, while fullback Will Jordan was named Super Rugby Player of the Year.
