South Africa Women in New Zealand ODIs 2025/26

The bilateral fixture known as the South Africa Women in New Zealand ODIs is a series of One Day International matches played on New Zealand soil. These contests are organized by New Zealand Cricket and Cricket South Africa, bringing together the White Ferns and the Spartans for international competition. The series forms a component of the ICC Women's Championship, a pathway established in 2014 that serves as the qualification route for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup. Points are awarded within this championship framework, with two points given for a victory, one for a tie or no result, and none for a loss.

Historical engagement between the sides has occurred in distinct phases. The first recorded series took place in February 1999, resulting in a clean sweep for the home side. Following a gap in scheduling, the teams met again in January 2020, where the visiting team secured a dominant three-match victory. The most recent encounter occurred in March and April 2026, with New Zealand Women winning the series 2–1. The cumulative record in New Zealand stands at five wins for the hosts and four for the visitors. While a 2024 series has been claimed in some circles, it remains unverified and is not counted in the official tally.

This international fixture operates on a different level from the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield, New Zealand’s domestic top-tier fifty-over tournament. The Shield features six provincial associations competing in a double round-robin format followed by a final, with Northern Districts holding the 2025–26 title. Unlike the domestic competition, which focuses on regional representation, the South Africa series contributes directly to global ICC rankings and World Cup qualification standings. The matches are played as part of the international cricket calendar rather than as a local club or provincial contest.
