The New Zealand Open in badminton is an international tournament held in New Zealand.
In 2011, the New Zealand International was originally scheduled to be a Grand Prix event, but was downgraded to International Challenge level due to lack of funding.
This tournament has been a part of BWF World Tour since 2018.
