The Kangaroos will face New Zealand in a trans-Tasman double-header in Wollongong in late October, the NRL has announced.
The Jillaroos and the Kiwi Ferns will also meet at WIN Stadium on October 25 as part of a newly-constructed international rugby league window.
The Australian men's team, currently world No.1, suffered a shock loss to New Zealand in their most recent match in Auckland last October.
They will likely get their first chance at revenge during the Downer World Cup 9s in early October, before they resume hostilities in Wollongong.
"Rugby league has a home in the Illawarra, so we're delighted to bring the pinnacle of rugby league back to Wollongong for the first time in five years," NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg said on Monday.
"We recorded one of the best-ever attendances for WIN Stadium the last time Test match rugby league was played in Wollongong.
"So, I've got no doubt the local support will be strong and compliment those travelling fans who can't wait to be at the stadium come October 25th."
Just who will captain the Kangaroos remains unclear, with incumbent Boyd Cordner assuming the role after Greg Inglis was suspended due to a drink-driving charge.
Inglis was appointed skipper just 28 hours before he was charged with drink driving, and was later given an 18-month good behaviour bond.
Inglis has retained the captaincy at South Sydney for the 2019 NRL season.
