This year was a good year as we, this leagues, had multiple players that were in the top 50 goal scorers in the world, according to IFFHS. There will be more added to this list once they are published.

- Unless stated, All goals are at top senior level, so only the Chatham Cup and the National Leagues are included, no regional cups are included.
- Unless stated, According to IFFHS, the New Zealand National League isn't apart of the top 100 leagues in the world, so it's not officially recognized.

New Zealand National League is ranked 104th in the world, so only missing out, meaning that probably next year the leagues will be officially recognized.
