The first ODI in 2006-07 at Westpac Stadium, Wellington, was the first time Australia had ever been beaten by 10 wickets, in 646 ODI matches. It was also only the second time New Zealand had won by 10 wickets, the first in a full 50-over game.

The second ODI in 2006-07 at Eden Park, Auckland, broke a number of records. Australia's batting first total of 336 was a record total for Eden Park, and a record ODI total in New Zealand. The subsequent successful chase was a record chase for New Zealand (beating the record set the year before), and was second for successful chases in the world, only behind the South Africa chase of 2006. The loss also saw Australia lose the top spot in ODI rankings, also a first since the standings began.

The third ODI in 2006-07 at Seddon Park, Hamilton, was an even higher total set by Australia, 346. This obviously broke the record set two days before of the highest ODI total in New Zealand. New Zealand again successfully chased this, breaking that record again. Matthew Hayden's first innings total of 181 not out for Australia was the highest individual innings for an Australian batsman. Craig McMillan's century in the second innings was the fastest ever ODI century by a New Zealand batsman, beating the record Jacob Oram set earlier in the year.
