Newshub understands an official announcement will be made next week to confirm the clash at Mt Smart Stadium on June 25.
The Kiwis haven't played since November 2019 and haven't played at Mt Smart, since they beat Tonga in June 2019.
The game may form a doubleheader with the Kiwi Ferns, as both sides prepare for this year's Rugby League World Cup in England.
The international game took a major hit, when the Rugby League World Cup was postponed last year, and games leading up to the delayed tournament may reignite the test calendar.
