With the test against the Springboks sold out 26 days before the game, the ORFU is hoping to "make a pitch" for a test next year, possibly against France.
Chief executive Richard Reid said there were tests up for grabs next year but cautioned the New Zealand Rugby Union would be focusing a lot more on net returns next year.
Reid said a test against Australia might be a bit big for Carisbrook next year but there was a chance to secure some other game, and the union could make a pitch, with France a possibility.
France (two tests) and Italy are scheduled to come to New Zealand next year before the Tri-Nations series.
Reid said with stadium developments going on in Christchurch and Auckland next year, the emphasis for the NZRU would be on making a good financial return.
France has never played a test against the All Blacks at Carisbrook, although it has played Otago three times, winning each time.
It last appeared at Carisbrook in 1984, when it beat Otago 20-10.
An NZRU spokesman said test venues for next year would not be decided until later this year.
Reid said the ORFU was likely to make $400,000 on the Springbok test but some of that payment depended on performance on the day, making sure the game ran smoothly.
He said the ground was in fantastic order.
Temporary seating would come from AMI Stadium in Christchurch and be installed, starting on Sunday.
