The Kiwi Ferns last won the World Cup at Suncorp Stadium in 2008, beating Australia 34-0 to claim their third consecutive title.
They return to the Brisbane venue to meet the Jillaroos in Sunday's final, which starts at 3.10pm local time and 6.10pm NZT.
The teams are seeking a fourth championship after sharing the previous six titles: New Zealand won in 2000, 2003 and 2008, while Australia triumphed in 2013, 2017 and 2022.
This will be the fifth straight World Cup final between the rivals.
New Zealand will field an unchanged lineup after beating Samoa 32-0 in the semifinal; Australia secured its place with a 30-14 win over Fiji.
Warriors Apii Nicholls, Mele Hufanga, Stacey Waaka and Kaiyah Atai start for the Ferns, with Ivana Lauitiiti on the bench.
Nicholls and halfback Raecene McGregor are set to play in their third consecutive World Cup final.
Kiwi Ferns co-captain Georgia Hale said the team wanted to restore its past dominance and expected the final to come down to which side wanted victory more.
"the Kiwi Ferns have been so dominant in years gone by, and we want to bring dominance back to this jersey, so I think it will be a case of who wants it more," said Kiwi Ferns co-captain Georgia Hale.
Head coach Ricky Henry said: "We have been building well throughout the tournament. We understand the Jillaroos side, and will give it the all to make New Zealand proud this weekend,"
