It's the first time the sides have met in a World Cup final and that match headlines a busy weekend of sport which includes Australia's oldest race, and of course all the A-League and Netball action.
Australia's record against New Zealand in recent years doesn't make good reading for Wallabies supporters: just one win in 12 matches.
But Australia's road to the final has included wins against home nations England, Wales and Scotland.
It's something which has arguably got Michael Cheika's team more battle-hardened than the All Blacks.
Australia's David Pocock feels if they stick to what they've been doing, the Wallabies can win.
"It's been four or five weeks of finals now for us. Every game's been huge, so we're just going to back our routine and back our preparation and do the same thing."
Although Pocock leads the tournament in forced turnovers with 14 ball steals, the star of the semi-final win against Argentina was Adam Ashley-Cooper.
The winger scored three tries and All Blacks full-back Ben Smith, says despites going into the Twickenham showdown as favourites, the Kiwis are mindful of the impact players like Ashley-Cooper can have if given the chance.
"We'll get our preparation right leading into Saturday so that we don't give those guys too many opportunities because they are dangerous. So for us its just been looking at how we can really play our game as well as we can to limit guys like Adam Ashley-Cooper."
Before Sunday morning's final, South Africa and Argentina will play to decide the 3rd and 4th place in the tournament on Saturday morning (AEDT).
To the A-League and in Friday's action Melbourne City can move top of the ladder if it beats the Newcastle Jets at Docklands Stadium.
Rumours surrounding an immiment move away from Australia for City's influential midfielder Aaron Mooy circulated strongly this week.
The 25 year old is keen to cement a spot in the Socceroos line-up and a move to England, Germany, or the Dutch First Division could help him in that objective.
"I don't know what the future holds but I'm ambitious and I always want to do my best and reach high levels so hopefully one day in the future maybe."
On Saturday, A-League leader Sydney FC travels to the Central Coast to take on the Mariners, while on Monday Melbourne Victory welcomes the Wellington Phoenix.
The New Zealand outfit has been in the news all week for the wrong reasons, facing extinction should Football Federarion Australia not renew the club's licence.
A third Sydney team behind Sydney FC and the Wanderers is being muted to replace the Phoenix.
The fourth and final Constellation Cup netball match takes place Friday in Perth with Australia's Diamonds taking on New Zealand.
The Diamonds welcome back captain Laura Geitz who was rested for game three.
Australia leads the series 2-1 but should New Zealand win by 7 points or more, the Silver Ferns will take home the trophy.
And could this be the beginning of the end of Jarryd Hayne's San Francisco 49ers career?
The NFL clubs' special teams coach Thomas McGaughey has told Fox Sports he's more than happy to stick with Reggie Bush in Hayne's role for Monday's trip to play the St Louis Rams.
"I feel very comfortable with it as long as Reggie feels comfortable I feel comfortable and he feels comfortable. We've just got to do a better job of sustaining our blocks."
And if that situation continues further into the season, speculation about Hayne's long-term future in San Francisco will only grow stronger.
And while the Melbourne Cup doesn't get underway until Tuesday afternoon, the Cup Carnival officially gets underway on Saturday with the big race at Flemington being the $1.5 million dollar Victoria Derby.
It's a race for 3 year olds and was held for the first time in 1855, which also makes it Australia's oldest race.
