The New Zealand cricket team toured Zimbabwe between 2 and 9 August 2015.[1] The tour consisted of three One Day International (ODI) matches and one Twenty20 International (T20I).[1] For the first ODI, New Zealand played under the name of Aotearoa. This is the Māori name for New Zealand. The tour coincided with te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week).[2]

In June Brendon McCullum was confirmed as the captain for New Zealand on this tour.[3] 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.[4] New Zealand won the ODI series 2–1 and the T20I series 1–0.
