The Football Ferns will take on Mexico before their clash with Olympic champions the USA next month.
The game against the USA in Kansas City was confirmed last month.
New Zealand Football has now managed to get two games Mexico who are ranked 29th, four places higher than New Zealand.
"Mexico are a strong team who naturally love to attack and score a lot of goals, so it will be a good test for us," said Ferns coach Michael Mayne.
"Obviously, playing them in their own country will be both exciting, being such a strong footballing nation, but a tough challenge at altitude and with limited preparation time on the ground for our team, but the challenge is a perfect one for us right now.
"The fact this window is three games in a short space of time also gives the players a reminder of a tournament-like schedule, which is great preparation ahead of starting our FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying early next year.
"It has been a really valuable period since the last game to align our planning and preparation, but I'm really looking forward to getting back on the grass with the players and continuing the build we have started this year."
The two games against Mexico will be played in Mexico City and Ciudad Juárez.
