The Silver Ferns will play Australia in four Constellation Cup netball tests in October.

While New Zealand will look to successfully defend their World Cup title in South Africa in July, the Silver Ferns will also look to reclaim the Constellation Cup.

Australia holds the Constellation Cup after a drawn series (2-2) last year.

Australia will host this year's first leg in Melbourne on 12 October followed by Brisbane three days later, before two tests in New Zealand.

The third test will be in Invercargill on 19 October and the fourth in Auckland four days later.

The Silver Ferns last met Australia at the Netball Quad Series in South Africa in January, going down to the Diamonds by six goals in the final.
