The New Zealand cricket team toured Zimbabwe between 2 and 9 August 2015. The tour consisted of three One Day International (ODI) matches and one Twenty20 International (T20I). For the first ODI, New Zealand played under the name of Aotearoa. This is the Māori name for New Zealand and coincides with Māori Language Week.
In June Brendon McCullum was confirmed as the captain for New Zealand on this tour. However in July, it was announced that McCullum had been rested for this tour and the tour to South Africa, being replaced by Kane Williamson. New Zealand won the ODI series 2–1 and the T20I series 1–0.
