The Football Ferns will play their first games at home since appearing at last year's World Cup.
The team will play two games in Ōtautahi Christchurch against Thailand, who're ranked 48th in the world, on Saturday April 6 and three days later on Tuesday.
The Football Ferns have faced Thailand four times before, with three wins and one draw.
The most recent game was in 2017 when New Zealand won 5-0.
New Zealand Football chief executive Andrew Pragnell said the organisation had made a commitment to have the senior national teams play at home every year.
Christchurch didn't host any World Cup matches so "it is extra special to be in Christchurch", said Pragnell.
"Christchurch, and the wider Mainland Football region, has a rich football history and played a big hand in the development of many of our Football Ferns so it's great to bring them back to a city they have so much affinity with.
"Last year's tournament was a game changer for football in New Zealand and we are already seeing the huge level of interest ahead of the new community season.
The Football Ferns last match at home was the 0-0 World Cup group match draw with Switzerland in Dunedin.
Since then they have away games against Chile and Colombia having lost three of those and drawn one.
They are currently in Samoa at the Women's Olympic qualifying tournament in Samoa having kicked tournament off with a 3-nil win over Tonga.
They play Samoa on Saturday.
