The New Zealand Open in badminton is an international tournament held in New Zealand. In 2011, the New Zealand International was originally scheduled to be a Grand Prix event, but was downgraded to International Challenge level due to lack of funding. This tournament has been a part of BWF World Tour since 2018.

On 6 March 2023, the Badminton World Federation announced that Badminton New Zealand has relinquished its rights to host the tournament until 2026.
