The Silver Ferns' busy tour to South Africa and the UK is only the beginning of a jam-packed international schedule for the team in 2017.
As the Ferns closed out their UK tour with a 72-39 win over Wales, Netball NZ confirmed the fixtures for the second half of the year, with the Ferns to play a further 10 tests in 2017.
The Netball Quad Series, which has just been played in South Africa and the UK, will return to New Zealand in late August. The Ferns will open their campaign against South Africa in Australia, before facing the England Roses at The Trusts Arena in Auckland on August 30.
The series will then head to Invercargill for a blockbuster doubleheader on September 3, featuring the Silver Ferns and Australian Diamonds, plus the England Roses and Proteas.
World no.3 England will then remain in New Zealand to contest the Taini Jamison Trophy in September. The three-test series will see the Silver Ferns host them in Porirua, Napier and Hamilton.
