"We're thrilled to announce a massive international season for the Wallaroos and the Wallabies on home soil with 10 Tests in total across the two teams," said Rugby Australia chief Phil Waugh.
"It's particularly pleasing to know we are going to host Test matches in the four largest cities in Australia as we continue to invest in making the game more accessible to more Australians.
"We're continuing to honour our commitment to grow the women's game, with the Wallaroos set to play their highest number of Tests on home soil in a calendar year in 2024 against world-class oppositions at first-class stadiums.
"The Wallabies will be looking for a reset this year, with Joe Schmidt to lead them against four high-quality Test opponents on home soil, including Georgia who we look forward to welcoming to Australia for the first time."
