New Zealand 2023

Here is everything you need to know ahead of England’s Test series tour of New Zealand in February 2023. With the England team playing the way they are currently, this is set to be the trip of a lifetime! 

We are also running a monitored Facebook group for England fans in New Zealand for the series. You can join here: Barmy Army in New Zealand 2023

Match Tickets & Merchadise

Barmy Army merchandise will be available from our below HQs, and from the Cricket New Zealand club shop within the grounds. We have a range of tour specific clothing and headwear on sale, including a special edition New Zealand bucket hat! 

We have worked closely with Cricket New Zealand to ensure that we have a Barmy Army area at both grounds for all of our members (and others!) to congregate. Everyone is welcome. It will be clearly visible on the grass banks with Barmy Army flags showing where we will be located. You will require a general admission ticket purchased directly from Cricket New Zealand to access the banks.
