St Kilda is set to host Carlton at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Anzac Day next year.

The match will be held on the 100th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli.

The clash between St Kilda and Carlton will be the Saints' third home game to be held in Wellington on Anzac Day after hosting the Brisbane Lions in 2014 and Sydney Swans in 2013.

St Kilda chief executive Matt Finnis said the club was looking forward to hosting the match on such a special date.

"Anzac Day 2015 will be a significant occasion for both countries and we acknowledge the magnitude of this day as we once again bring the Australian game to our New Zealand friends," Finnis said.

Finnis said having two Victorian-based clubs playing would bring a true football experience to New Zealanders.

"After holding two matches in Wellington over the past two seasons, New Zealanders are getting a taste for the Australian game.

"For the first time, New Zealand football fans will have the experience of watching two foundation AFL teams renew a long standing rivalry," Finnis said.
