The Netherlands cricket team toured New Zealand in March and April 2022 to play one Twenty20 International (T20I) and three One Day International (ODI) matches.[1] The ODI series formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[2][3] Originally scheduled to take place in January or February 2022, the tour was moved back slightly due to COVID-19 quarantine requirements for travelling to New Zealand.[4] In November 2021, New Zealand Cricket confirmed the full dates of the tour.[5]

The initial tour schedule had the first ODI at the University Oval, Dunedin.[6] However, on 27 January 2022, New Zealand Cricket announced a change to the itinerary, with the match being moved to Bay Oval.[7] Prior to the international matches, three warm-up games between the New Zealand XI team and the Netherlands were also played.[8] The New Zealand XI team won both of the 50-over matches, with the third match, a 20-over encounter, abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain.[9]
The one-off T20I would have been the first time that the Dutch team played a T20I in New Zealand, and the ODIs were the first time the teams had played each other in that format since the 1996 Cricket World Cup.[10] However, the T20I match was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain.[11] The hosts won all three ODIs by comfortable margins. New Zealand won the opening ODI match by seven wickets, with Will Young scoring his first century in the format.[12] New Zealand won the second ODI by 118 runs,[13] with Tom Latham scoring his highest total in ODI cricket with an unbeaten 140 runs.[14] New Zealand won the third and final match by 115 runs, with another century from Will Young,[15] to take the series 3–0.[16]
The series also marked the international retirement of Ross Taylor,[17] who played in his 450th and final match for New Zealand.[18]
