The Australia cricket team toured New Zealand in February and March 2024 to play three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches and two Test matches.[2] [3] The teams contested the Trans-Tasman Trophy,[4] with the Test series formed part of the 2023–2025 ICC World Test Championship.[5]

The teams contested the Chappell–Hadlee Trophy,[6] [7] with the T20I series formed part of both teams' preparation for the T20 World Cup in June that year which will be held in the USA and West Indies.[8] [9] It was the first time the T20I series was a part of Chappell–Hadlee Trophy.[10] [11] [12] Australia won the first two T20Is,[13] and retained the Chappell–Hadlee Trophy.[14]
