Hong Kong travels to New Zealand in January 2014 to play in the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2014 - the 10-team qualifying event for Associate nations for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 to be held in Australia and New Zealand - with the top two teams going through.
Hong Kong will depart for New Zealand on 1st January 2014 and will have a one week in Christchurch before the start of the tournament. During the warm-up stages of the tournament Hong Kong will remain in Christchurch but will then play their group matches in Queenstown and Rangiora. Should Hong Kong finish in the top three of their group, they will contest the Super Six series in Christchurch, otherwise they will head to the North Island township of Mt Maunganui for the play-off matches.
