The '''Order of New Zealand''' is the highest honour in the [[New Zealand royal honours system]], created "to recognise outstanding service to the Crown and people of New Zealand in a civil or military capacity". It was instituted by [[Royal warrant (document)|royal warrant]] on 6 February 1987. The order is modelled on the [[Order of Merit]] and the [[Order of the Companions of Honour]].<ref name="dpmc-onz">{{cite web

==Composition==
The order comprises the Sovereign and ordinary, additional and honorary members. The ordinary membership is limited to 20 living members, and at any time there may be fewer than 20. Additional members may be appointed to commemorate important royal, state or national occasions, and such appointments were made in [[1990 Special Honours (New Zealand)|1990 for the 150th anniversary of the Treaty of Waitangi]], in 2002 for the Queen's Golden Jubilee, in 2007 for the 20th anniversary of the institution of the Order, in 2012 for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, in 2022 for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, and in 2023 to mark the coronation of King Charles III. Additional members have the same status as ordinary members. Honorary membership is for citizens of nations of which the Sovereign is not head of state.<ref name="dpmc-onz"/> Members are entitled to the [[post-nominal letters]] "ONZ". 

Appointments to the order are made by [[royal warrant (document)|royal warrant]] under the monarch's sign manual on the prime minister's advice. The order is administered by a Secretary and Registrar (the Clerk of the Executive Council).

[[Richie McCaw]] represented the Order at the [[coronation of Charles III and Camilla]] in 2023, and took part in the procession of the King and Queen at the beginning of the ceremony.<ref>{{cite news |title=Coronation order of service in full |work=BBC News |date=5 May 2023 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65503950 |access-date=6 May 2023}}</ref>

==Insignia==
The insignia is made up of an oval medallion of the [[coat of arms of New Zealand]] in gold and coloured enamel, worn on a white and ochre ribbon around the neck for men or a bow for women on their left shoulder.
