The Australian cricket team toured New Zealand from 26 February to 31 March 2010. The tour consisted of two Twenty20s (T20), five One Day Internationals (ODIs) and two Tests.^[1] Due to sponsorship, the tour was referred to as The National Bank Series,^[1] with the New Zealand team's major sponsor the National Bank of New Zealand,^[2] and the Australian team's major sponsor Victoria Bitter.^[3]

The T20 series was tied, with each team winning one of the matches. The Chappell-Hadlee Trophy—awarded to the winner of the annual series of ODI matches between the two nations—was retained by Australia for the third series in a row by defeating New Zealand 3–2. The Trans Tasman Trophy—awarded to the winner of each test series between Australia and New Zealand—was retained by Australia for the eighth series in a row, after they defeated New Zealand 2–0.^[4]

The next series for both teams will be the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 in April and May.^[5]
