It's a recent list, but since the beginning of the list here is the first time with 2 110+

To date New Zealand has produced 11 verified supercentenarians, three of which made it to 111, with Florence Finch going on to 113.

Numerous times in the past (for example Madeleine Anderson and Mabel Jenkins), and other combinations, NZ has come within a few months of two living supercentenarians.

But this is the first time it’s been achieved.
