The England women's cricket team played against the New Zealand women's cricket team in February and March 2021. [1] [2] [3] The series was played during the time that was originally scheduled to be used to host the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup, [4] after the tournament was postponed by one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On 1 March 2021, the final WT20I was also moved from the Bay Oval in Tauranga to the Wellington Regional Stadium, [12] after logistical complications arose from the movement of the men's T20I matches. [13]

England won the first two WODI matches to take an unassailable lead in the series. [14] New Zealand won the third WODI by seven wickets, ending a losing streak of eleven matches, [15] with England winning the series 2–1. [16] England also won the first two WT20I matches, winning the series with a game to spare. [17] Nat Sciver captained England for the first time in international cricket for the third WT20I match, after Heather Knight was ruled out of the fixture due to an injury. [18] England went on to win the match by 32 runs to take the series 3–0. [19]
