The Otago women's side will kick off its national provincial competition with an away game against Wellington on September 8.
The revamped draw was released last night, although venues have to be confirmed.
Otago was originally left out, due to tight finances at the union, but fundraising has brought about its reinstatement.
Otago plays Hawkes Bay, Manawatu and Auckland at home and has away games against Wellington, Canterbury and newcomer Waikato.
The final of the competition will be played on October 27.
