Australia and New Zealand will co-host this year's inaugural four-nation netball tournament unveiled by new body SANZEA.
Four of the world's top-five ranked nations formed the partnership in December, with the intention of creating an annual competition involving Australia, New Zealand, England and South Africa.
The tournament known as the International Netball Super Series, will entail six Tests in August and September
SANZEA released the dates and some of the venues on Friday.
It begins on August 27 with a double-header in Auckland, where world No.1 Australia will face the fifth-ranked South Africa before New Zealand and England square off in a battle of the world's second and third-ranked teams.
New Zealand will play South Africa in Hamilton four days later, while Australia and England meet across the Tasman at a venue still to be determined.
A double header on Australian soil on September 4, highlighted by a trans-Tasman Test, will conclude the tournament.
Netball New Zealand chief executive Hilary Poole says the event will be a "game changer" for the sport.
"This is a ground breaking initiative and one that will excite netball fans all around the world, Poole said.
"SANZEA's aim was to develop an event that provided world-class international competition on a regular basis and be another stepping stone towards building the depth of the game globally."
The tournament will move to South Africa and England in 2017 before a review is undertaken after the first two years.
