New Zealand has its elections every 3 years obviously meaning that a New Zealand Prime Minister has a 3 year term and maybe they are lucky enough to be re-elected for another 3 year term. However, many times in the past, New Zealand Prime Ministers may have served far less than a full term, or a full term and part of a new term. See the related question.

The first New Zealand leader was Henry Sewell, although the title was not "Prime Minister" but "Premier". The term "Prime Minister" was assigned during Richard Seddon's tenure, and the first man to be sworn in under the title of Prime Minister was William Hall-Jones.
In 2014, the Prime Minister of New Zealand is the Hon. John Key, of the National Party, who was sworn in on 19 November 2008. Mr Key won his third term as Prime Minister in elections held in September 2014.
The Prime Minister's term depends on how long he can keep the confidence of the parliament, and lasts up until the next election at most, which is at most 4 years. There is not a limit on the number of terms a Prime Minister can serve.
There is no set term. Stephen Harper will remain the Prime Minister of Canada until he resigns or the Conservatives lose government.
