The New Zealand women's cricket team toured England to play the England women's cricket team in September 2021.[1][2] The tour consisted of three Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) and five Women's One Day International (WODI) matches.[3][4]

England won the first WT20I match by 46 runs,[5] with New Zealand winning the second match by four wickets to level the series.[6] England won the third WT20I match by four wickets to win the series 2–1.[7] England won the first two WODI matches by 30 runs and 13 runs respectively to take a 2–0 lead in the series.[8][9] On the day before the third WODI, a member of the New Zealand team management received a bomb threat,[10] but the threat was deemed "not credible".[11] The match went ahead as scheduled, with New Zealand winning by three wickets.[12] England won the fourth WODI by three wickets to win the series with a match to spare.[13] England won the fifth WODI by 203 runs to win the series 4–1.[14]
