I see Wiki tells us the tournament will be held between June 6-20.

When does the qualifying round take place and when will the final draw be released?
Looking to sort logistics to attend a couple of games.

It doesn't help that June 5 is my 15th wedding anniversary and I promised the wife we'd do something really nice for it....

There's no indication yet when qualifying will take place, or when the draw will be released. (They haven't even announced it's in New Zealand properly yet).

The only guide we have is the previous tournament, which went as follows.

Sat: MD1

Sun: MD1

Mon: day off

Tue: MD2 

Wed: MD2

Thu: day off 

Fri: day off

Sat: MD3

Sun: MD3

Mon: day off

Tue: day off

Wed: Semifinals

Thu: day off

Fri: day off

Sat: Final

Would be smart IMO for New Zealand to play on the second matchday every time, as that means two Sunday fixtures and therefore no clashes with local men's football. Trade off is a day less rest ahead of the semifinal.
