The All Blacks will play Fiji in the opening test of next season at North Harbour Stadium on June 10, the day before the Lions play New Zealand Maori in Hamilton.
NZRFU deputy chief executive Steve Tew said the union would pay up to $100,000 of the net surplus from the
test to the Fiji Rugby Football Union.
"This is part of our commitment to helping Pacific Island rugby," Tew said.
"Earlier this year we generated $330,000 for the Fijian, Tongan and Samoan Rugby Unions as a result of the All Blacks' historic test match against the Pacific Islanders, and we are keen to continue helping out in any way we can."
The NZRFU also confirmed that next year's All Black trial would be played at McLean Park, Napier, on June 3, the day before the Lions' opening match against Bay of Plenty.
The kickoff times for the All Black trial, the Fiji test and all Lions matches will be 7.10pm.
The decision was made after consultation with the All Black coaching staff and management, Lions management, broadcasters and travel agents.
The key issue in changing the time was the curfew at Wellington Airport around the second test, and the need to move fans out of the city after the match.
The change to a standard time across all the games would make it easier for people to organise their travel and planning.
The dates and kickoff times for the All Blacks' home Tri-Nations matches against Australia and South Africa are yet to be confirmed.
