Venues for the July test series between the Black Ferns and England have been confirmed.

The tests are the first to be played at home by the Black Ferns since 2007 when the team played Australia in a two-test series.

The first test at Eden Park on July 13 will be the curtain raiser to the Blues versus Chiefs Super Rugby match and will be broadcast live on Sky.

The second test is at Waikato Stadium on July 16, and the third at Pukekohe on July 20.

A 26-strong Black Ferns squad will be announced in early June following trials in late May.
