The New Zealand cricket team toured Australia in November and December 2019 to play three Test matches. The Test series was played for the Trans-Tasman Trophy and formed part of the inaugural 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship.[5][6] The first Test was a day/night match at the Perth Stadium.[7] Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the tour in May 2019.[8][9] New Zealand returned to Australia in March 2020 to play three One Day International (ODI) matches for the Chappell–Hadlee Trophy.[7]
In the first Test, Aleem Dar of Pakistan stood in his 129th Test match as an on-field umpire, surpassing Jamaican Steve Bucknor's record of officiating in the most Test matches.[10] Ahead of the fourth day of the second Test match, Australia's Peter Siddle announced his retirement from international cricket.[11] Australia won the first two Test matches to take an unassailable lead,[12] and therefore retaining the Trans-Tasman Trophy.[13] Australia won the third and final Test match by 279 runs, therefore winning the series 3–0.[14] It was the first time that New Zealand had been whitewashed in a three-match Test series in Australia.[15] During the third Test, Ross Taylor went past Stephen Fleming's career total of 7,172 runs to become the leading run-scorer for New Zealand in Test cricket.[16]
Ahead of the first ODI, Cricket Australia confirmed that all three ODIs would be played without crowd attendance,[17] in an attempt to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[18] Despite the first ODI being played, the second and third ODIs were called off on 14 March 2020, as a result of new travel restrictions being implemented in response to the coronavirus pandemic.[19] Both Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket have expressed their interest to reschedule the remaining ODI matches at a later date.[20] On 28 May 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for a rescheduled three match ODI series against New Zealand in January and February 2021.[21][22]
