The Football Ferns will play two international friendlies against World No 1 USA this September.
The Tony Readings coached team, who are looking to build for the 2019 FIFA World Cup in France and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, will play the three-time FIFA World Cup Champions on 15 September in Denver, followed by a second game on 19 September in Cincinnati.
The Ferns, who were last in action in the Cyprus Cup in March, most recently played the USA in the opening game of Rio Olympics last year where they went down 2-0 in Belo Horizonte, that featured goals from Carli Lloyd and Alex Morgan.
Readings said the two international friendlies would provide a great test for the World No 20.
"It is going to be nice to have the team back together," said Readings. "There are no better games that are inspiring to work towards than playing against one of the best teams in the world away from home. I am sure the players are looking forward to it and will be training hard to be selected for this squad."
Readings said the USA, who are also four-time Olympic champions, are always a massive challenge in any setting but even more so when you play them on their home soil.
"They are a team that has a lot of depth and they are looking to bring some new players and develop a different style of play. They have so much depth and it will be a good test for this group to see where we are at. It will be useful for our younger players to see the standard required to compete at the FIFA World Cup in 2019 and the Tokyo Olympics in 2020."
