How to Say "New Zealander" in Italian

neozelandese

/ˌnɛ.od.d͡ze.lanˈde.ze/

The English phrase 'new zealander' is translated into Italian as neozelandese.

neozelandese is a noun used to describe a person from New Zealand or a person of New Zealand descent.

Meaning: a person from New Zealand or of New Zealand descent (noun)

How does it change in a sentence?

To form the plural, add an -i to the end: neozelandesi.

The word has six syllables and is pronounced /ˌnɛ.od.dze.lanˈde.ze/. The stress is on the fifth syllable.

While neozelandese describes the person, the country itself is called Nuova Zelanda, which uses the full word for 'new' rather than the prefix neo-.
Because it is an adjective ending in -e, the word neozelandese remains the same for both masculine and feminine singular forms, which is a relief for those struggling with gender agreement.
While English separates 'New' and 'Zealand', Italian merges them into one word. The prefix neo- is used here to mirror the 'New' in the country's name, similar to how neoclassico refers to a new style of classicism.
