Mount Maunganui's Bay Oval cricketing calendar is quickly filling up with the White Ferns set to host England in three one day matches in February 2015.

As part of the new International Cricket Council's Women's Championship the two nations will square off in five one day internationals and three T20 internationals.

The opening three ODIs will be played at Bay Oval, between February 11 and 15, with the matches counting towards second round championship points.

The format and venue then change when the series shifts to Whangarei for back-to-back T20s at Cobham Oval on February 19 and 20.

A third Twenty20 and two further ODIs at Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln will conclude the tour.

England last toured New Zealand in 2012 and were convincing victors.

White Ferns Coach Hamish Barton says the side is determined to turn things around come summer.

'We know England is an incredibly strong side with some of the best players in the world, but that makes the opportunity all the more exciting for us.

'Our aim is to be the No.1 side in the world and to do that we have to beat teams like England. We absolutely believe that if we play to our potential then we can achieve that.”

The three fixtures add to the Mount Maunganui venue's international resume with the Blackcaps and South Africa playing three ODIs at Labour weekend and Afghanistan playing four warm up matches ahead of next year's ICC Cricket World Cup.

It will also host its first ever Plunket Shield match between the Northern Knights and Canterbury Wizards from April 1-4.

The first round of the ICC Women's Championship for the White Ferns will be away in the West Indies starting September 12.

The new bi-lateral competition involving the top eight ranked women's teams will determine qualification for the next Women's World Cup.

Competing countries will include Australia, West Indies, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, South Africa, India and Pakistan with promotion and relegation at the end of the first cycle.

Each team will play the others in a series of matches between mid-2014 and the end of 2016, with the top teams qualifying automatically for the ICC Women's World Cup in 2017.

Countries at the bottom of the ladder at the end of the International Women's Championship will be joined by teams from the ICC's regional qualification structures to play in an ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier.

The qualifier will determine the final Women's World Cup participants.
