"All of New Zealand will be able to be part of this unique sporting event, with Newcastle United journeying to Dunedin and West Ham United to Auckland, with both sides finishing their tour with the double-header in Wellington."
The tour will also provide an opportunity for Kiwi fans to see All Whites captain Winston Reid in his club colours, a prospect he was eagerly awaiting.
"I'm really excited to be bringing West Ham to New Zealand in July to play a bit of footy and show them how we do things in New Zealand," Reid said.
"New Zealand is a beautiful country full of great people and I'm sure all the West Ham players, staff and supporters who make the trip will have a fantastic time.
"Football is really on the up in both New Zealand and Australia and we are all looking forward to meeting all the fans and playing exciting matches against two leading A-League clubs."
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce was also looking forward to bringing a team to New Zealand for the first time in his managerial career.
"We've been busy putting together the best pre-season preparation that I've had, and it's great that we're able to go to New Zealand as a key part of that," Allardyce said. "The tournament in New Zealand is particularly interesting, as it allows us to promote West Ham United and the Premier League over there.
"It'll be great for our fans in the region to see us play."
Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew said: "Football has grown impressively in both New Zealand and Australia in recent years, with some excellent players and teams coming to the fore, so the Wellington Phoenix and Sydney FC fixtures will provide a good test for our players as we prepare them for next season."
