The New Zealand A cricket team toured Australia in August and September 2023 to play the Australia A cricket team. The tour featured two unofficial Tests and three unofficial One Day Internationals with all five matches having first-class and List A status. The matches were played at Allan Border Field in Brisbane and the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay, Queensland.[1]

On 9 August 2023, the initial Australia A squad was announced with the New Zealand A squad being announced later on 22 August 2023. Prior to the start of the series, Wes Agar was ruled out due to a back injury, with Todd Murphy also withdrawing due to general soreness.
