The first New Zealanders that won medals were the three that were members of the 1908 Australasia Rugby union team that won gold at the 1908 Games, Herry Kerr, Henry St. Aubyn Murray, and Arthur Rowland. Australasia was the name of the team in 1908 and 1912 that was comprised of Australian and New Zealand athletes.

New Zealand first competed as an independent nation in 1920. The first to win a medal was Clarence Hadfield D'Arcy who won bronze at the 1920 Games in men's single sculls rowing.
