Tours by Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Australia have been confirmed for New Zealand's 2024-25 home season alongside the previously announced three-Test series against England with the latter stages of the men's schedule featuring Pakistan likely to overlap with the IPL.
In total, the men's side will play six ODIs and eight T20Is during the season while the women will feature in six ODIs and six T20Is. The Tests against England are the only ones in New Zealand's summer and will bring to an end a run of nine between September and December with away fixtures against Afghanistan (one), Sri Lanka (two) and India (three). In the 2025-26 season New Zealand are only scheduled to play two home Tests against West Indies.
Following the England series, New Zealand's men will face Sri Lanka in T20Is and ODIs from late December to mid-January before heading to Pakistan for an ODI tri-series that acts as a warm-up to the Champions Trophy which is slated to begin on February 19.
After that tournament they will host Pakistan for five T20Is and three ODIs during the latter stages of the season in late March and early April, matches which will likely overlap with the IPL.
New Zealand's women will host Australia for three ODIs, all to be played at the Basin Reserve, shortly before Christmas with their Trans-Tasman neighbours returning for three T20Is in late March. Sri Lanka's women will follow the men in visiting for a six-match tour during March.
Five of the women's T20Is (the last two against Sri Lanka and the three against Australia) will be played as double-headers with the men's T20I series against Pakistan.
