The New Zealand cricket team toured Sri Lanka in September and toured again in November 2024 to play the Sri Lanka cricket team. The tour consisted of two Test, three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. The Test series formed part of the 2023–2025 ICC World Test Championship. In November 2023, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) announced its international calendar for 2024 and confirmed the bilateral series. New Zealand last toured Sri Lanka in 2019.
On 23 August 2024, SLC announced that, the first Test would be played across six days, with a rest day set for 21 September, due to the Presidential Election.
Sri Lanka's first-innings total of 602 for 5 in the second Test was their first 500-plus total against New Zealand in the format. With that accomplishment they also became the first team in Test cricket with 600-plus totals against nine opponents.
