Career

Moore was a member of the New Zealand U-17 side at the 2012 Women's World Championship, playing in all three of New Zealand's group games.

Moore made her senior début for the Football Ferns as a subs*ute in a 4–0 win over China on 26 September 2013.

She was part of New Zealand's squad at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.

In April 2019, Moore was named to the final 23-player squad for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, however while in France training before the tournament started, Moore snapped her Achilles.

15 months later she had recovered enough from the injury to sign for Liverpool who play in the FA Women's Championship.

On 20 February 2022, Moore scored a perfect hat-trick of own goals in a match for New Zealand against the United States at the SheBelieves Cup, all in the first half; Moore is the second footballer believed to have recorded a hat-trick of own goals which were not deliberate, after Stan van den Buys.
