The Australian women's netball side will return to Newcastle for a match against England later this year.
The Diamonds will play the first fixture of a three-match series against the Roses at Newcastle Entertainment centre on Wednesday, October 26.
Games at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena and Brisbane Entertainment centre will follow.
The Diamonds have not played on home soil in more than 1000 days.
They last played in Newcastle in 2018.
"After almost three years, we can't wait to watch the Diamonds play on home soil and pack stadiums across Queensland and NSW," Netball Australia CEO Kelly Ryan said.
Newcastle lord mayor Nuatali Nelmes said she expected the tickets to be in hot demand.
"City of Newcastle is a proud supporter of women's sport and we are thrilled to be welcoming some of the best netballers in the world to Newcastle in October for what I'm sure will be a sell-out match between the Australian Diamonds and the England Roses," she said.
"This match is another great example of the work that City of Newcastle, Venues NSW and the Newcastle Entertainment Centre are doing to secure these major events, which provide increased visitation and significant economic benefits for the city.
"We look forward to welcoming the visiting teams and their support staff to Newcastle for this highly anticipated event, which will deliver a fantastic spectacle for the region's sports lovers and valuable flow-on effects for our visitor economy."
