Myrtle Muir (1900–1966)[1] was the first coach of the New Zealand national netball team in 1938. She was a founder of what would become Netball New Zealand, and served as its president from 1932 to 1949. Little was known about Muir's origins until 2020, when researchers discovered that she was descended from a Chinese settler who worked in the Otago goldfields.[2]
