Tries in either half from Heather O'Brien and Alison Miller as well as 7 points off the boot of Niamh Briggs earned Ireland a 17-14 victory over their Pool B rivals.
It was the first time that an Irish team has beaten their New Zealand counter-parts in Test rugby and it was also the first World Cup defeat for the 4-time World Champions since the 1991 competition.
