Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic coach Julie Fitzgerald has won the coach of the year at the New Zealand Netball Awards last night.

The inaugural awards were held at the Auckland War Memorial Museum

Laura Langman has capped off a stellar year named the winner of the Dame Lois Muir Supreme Award

The award, the highest individual accolade a New Zealand Netballer can achieve, recognises the best Netballer across the ANZ Championship and the Silver Ferns campaigns each year.

It is named after Dame Lois Muir DNZM OBE, one of the most influential figures in the sport's history.

Langman, the Silver Ferns vice-captain, was also crowned New Zealand ANZ Championship Player of the Year and Silver Ferns Player of the Year.

She has played 131 consecutive tests for the Silver Ferns and cements her place in the history books as one of the game's greats.

Silver Ferns midcourter Kayla Cullen was voted the fan favourite, taking home the Woman's Day People's Choice.

Cullen produced one of her best seasons yet, following her return from a knee reconstruction, to make the wing defence bib her own during Netball World Cup.

Netball fans also voted for the Silver Ferns victory over the Australian Diamonds in Pool Play at the world cup as their SKY Sport Moment of the Year.

Silver Ferns triallist and Southern Steel midcourter Gina Crampton capped off a successful year, presented with the Aspiring Silver Fern award.
