The India women's cricket team toured New Zealand to play the New Zealand women's cricket team in January and February 2019.[1] The tour consisted of three Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs), which formed part of the 2017–20 ICC Women's Championship,[2] and three Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) matches.[1][3][4] The WT20I matches took place on the same day as the corresponding men's fixtures at the same venues.[5]

In the third WODI of the series, India's captain Mithali Raj became the first woman to play in 200 ODI matches.[6] India Women won the WODI series 2–1.[7] New Zealand Women won the WT20I series 3–0.[8]
