The Youth divisions (18's Boys and Girls and 20's Boys and Girls) will be up first, playing their three tests on Tuesday, 5 February, Wednesday, 6 February and Thursday, 7 February. The Australian teams will be hopeful of continuing their strong performances in the Youth divisions, having claimed the 2009 and 2011 Youth Trans Tasman titles in recent years.
The five Masters divisions (Men's and Women's 30's, Men's 40's, Men's 50's and Senior Mixed) will be next to represent their country, from Thursday, 7 February until Saturday, 9 February.

The Open divisions will battle it out on Friday, 8 February, Saturday, 9 February and Sunday, 10 February in what will be another cracking battle between the arch rivals.
