New Zealand will host the final of this year's Four Nations tournament in November, the Australian Rugby League said Thursday.

The seven-match tournament, involving Australia, New Zealand, England and a Pacific nation yet to be determined, will feature games in Brisbane, Melbourne, Wollongong, Dunedin and Whangarei ahead of a first Four Nations final in the New Zealand capital Wellington.

Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium will host a double-header to open the end-of-season tournament.

The winners of the mid-season Pacific Test between Fiji and Samoa, to be played in Sydney on May 3, will take their place in the Four Nations tournament.

Australia are the defending Four Nations champions after defeating England 30-8 in the 2011 final at Elland Road in Leeds.
