The Football Ferns will play South Korea in a two-match series at Christchurch's Orangetheory Stadium in November.
The series will mark the first of several home games for New Zealand in the next six months, as preparations ramp up for the home World Cup next year.
As joint hosts with Australia, the side will also play three matches at Auckland and Hamilton in the inaugural World Cup playoff tournament in February.
Football Ferns defender Meikayla Moore is delighted at the opportunity to play the Koreans in front of her home crowd.
"To know that we are getting to play in Christchurch, where I'm from and where a couple of the girls hail from, is pretty cool," she said.
'I'm really looking forward to those two games in November and hopefully we can put on a really good show for those that turn out."
NZ Football boss Andrew Pragnell believes the series will have a significant impact on the women's game in the country.
"In the lead-up to next year's World Cup, it's vital the Football Ferns have the opportunity to reconnect with fans across the country," Pragnell said.
"It's significant that we are beginning their return home by bringing them to Christchurch. The city and Mainland Football region has produced many great national team players for the Football Ferns over the years.
"We were especially determined to play games here to connect the team back home, highlight the city, and we hope that Christchurch ends up as a FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 team base camp in the participating team decisions after the draw this month.
"Bringing the Ferns home and hosting internationals is a long-stated goal of New Zealand Football that we are now starting to deliver on.
"We are looking at a full calendar of home matches for the Ferns right up until the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, kicking off on July 20."
