New Zealand's most capped netballer Laura Langman has called time on her international career.

The 34-year-old, who captains the Sunshine Coast in Super Netbal, has retired from the Silver Ferns after 163 Test caps.

Langman steps down having won all major netball titles, including last year's Netball World Cup.

"The honour of pulling on the black dress and wearing the Silver Fern was as strong in my 163rd Test as it was when I was handed my first cap in 2005. It's a privilege that I have absolutely loved," Langman said in a statement on Monday.

The dynamic midcourter made her international debut against England in 2005 at just 18.

After an 18-month absence from the international game, she returned to captain the national side in 2018 and led the Silver Ferns to victory at the 2019 Netball World Cup in Liverpool.

"I am so grateful to have had a second chance with the Silver Ferns and to captain the team at the Netball World Cup," she said.

"The memories from that campaign and win are epic and it was special to be able to bring the Netball World Cup back to New Zealand."

Langman also paid tribute to long-time coach and mentor, Dame Noeline Taurua, who guided her through her step up to elite netball.

"I was with Noels at the Magic as a teenager and she has played such an important part in my netball career," she said.

"She has been a mentor throughout and it was incredibly special to finish my time with the Silver Ferns with Noels at the helm."

Taurua, who also coached Langman at the Lightning, said the midcourter was one of the game's greats.

"She was fearless on court, set the bar with her work and training ethic and is a tough competitor who displays an iron will to win," Taurua said.

"It was fitting to see her end her international career on top of the world championship podium."
