Amber-Paris Hall (born 7 January 1995) is a New Zealand rugby league footballer who plays for the Sydney Roosters Women in the NRL Women's Premiership.

Primarily a prop, she is a New Zealand representative.

Playing career

In 2012, Hall, a Richmond Roses player, was named in New Zealand's 2012 training squad, although no games were played that season. In 2013, she made her debut for New Zealand at the 2013 Women's Rugby League World Cup, playing two games.

On 10 August 2018, Hall represented Auckland in a trial game against the New Zealand Warriors NRL Women's Premiership team.

2019

On 11 June, she signed with the Brisbane Broncos NRLW team. On 22 June, after a six-year absence, Hall started at prop for New Zealand in their 46–8 win over Samoa.

In Round 1 of the 2019 NRL Women's season, Hall made her debut for the Broncos, scoring a try in a 14–4 win over the St George Illawarra Dragons. On 6 October, she started at prop in the Broncos' 30–6 Grand Final win over the Dragons.

On 25 October, Hall started at prop for New Zealand in their 8–28 loss to Australia.

2020

In Round 2 of the 2020 NRL Women's season, she was charged with Grade 1 dangerous contact on Dragons' centre Isabelle Kelly and was suspended for one game. On 25 October, she started at second-row and scored a try in the Broncos' 20–10 Grand Final win over the Sydney Roosters. She was named Player of the Match, winning the Karyn Murphy Medal.

On 27 November, at the Broncos' end of season awards, Hall won the Player of the Year, Players' Player and Best Forward awards.

In late September, Hall was named in the Dream Team announced by the Rugby League Players Association. The team was selected by the players, who each cast one vote for each position.
