The New Zealand team finished 14th on the medal table, winning a total of three medals, two of which were gold.

      Group A tie-breaker

      By winning the Group A tie-breaker match, New Zealand advanced to the quarter-finals, while the Netherlands continued to the classification matches for 9th to 12th places.

      Quarter-final

      After losing its quarter-final, New Zealand moved into the classification matches for 5th to 8th places.

      5th–8th Classification matches

      New Zealand moved into the playoff for 5th and 6th places by defeating Germany.

      The match to decide 5th and 6th positions between Australia and New Zealand was declared null and void after Australia's previous match against Kenya was declared drawn on appeal. Australia subsequently defeated Kenya in a replay, and then a replay was required between New Zealand and Australia to decide 5th place.
