The New Zealand women's cricket team toured England in May 2026 to play the England women's cricket team. The tour consisted of three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. The ODI series formed part of the 2025–2029 ICC Women's Championship. The T20I series served as preparation for both teams ahead of the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup. In July 2025, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed the fixtures for the tour, as a part of the 2026 home international season.
