A report commissioned by Tauranga City Council and Bay Oval Trust in 2023 showed the four-day Black Caps versus England test in February that year generated over $4 million in visitor spend with an estimated net benefit to the city of $1.9m.
Bay Oval general manager Kelvin Jones said his team was ready to welcome Kiwi and Aussie fans and to provide an “exceptional experience” for players and spectators.
The Black Caps versus Australia Twenty20 International (T20I) series is the first announcement of the 2025/26 cricket season.
The full season schedule, including dates for the T20I series, will be released by New Zealand Cricket in June.
This month, Bay Oval will host its first Super Rugby Pacific match, with the Chiefs playing the Western Force on Anzac Day. It will be the first Chiefs game played in Tauranga since 2013.
