Black Sticks

In 2021, Crowley received her first call up to the national squad.[6]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Crowley was unable to make her debut for the national team in 2021. She was named in the national squad again in 2022, which eventually lead to her international debut.[4] She made her first international appearance against Australia during the Trans–Tasman Series in Auckland.[5] Following her debut, Crowley was named in the squads for the FIH World Cup in Terrassa and Amsterdam, as well as the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.[7]

Crowley continued representing the Black Sticks into 2023, appearing during season four of the FIH Pro League.[8][5]
