A press release said she would give a "candid account" of what happened in US politics during the presidential election.

Prices to attend the event start from $195 and go up to $495 for a VIP ticket.

Ms Clinton will also speak in Melbourne and Sydney later that week.

She last visited New Zealand in 2010, while serving as secretary of state.
