Dayna Turnbull and Meg Sycamore have been named in the club's inaugural touch team.
Playing in the NRL Touch Premiership, they will face seven other teams aligned to NRL clubs.
The league - now in its second season - begins in May and finishes in August.
It is a big opportunity for both, enabling them to play the game year-round.
The cost of playing is also covered - a first for the sport.
Until now, players self-funded trips away, including those with the Touch Blacks and national training camps.
One of those trips is the immediate focus for the duo as both travel to Malaysia in a month for the World Cup.
They will miss the first Warriors game along with nine others in the 15-player squad.
However, having the bulk of the team involved in World Cup preparations means they do not have to train for the Warriors.
That enables them to live in Dunedin and play for the Auckland-based team, flying out the day before for games.
Both are excited and, while not quite topping playing for the national side, it represents a significant step for the sport.
''Touch Blacks is still the pinnacle, it's still the highest you can go,'' Sycamore (17) said.
''But I think the Warriors - just to play all year round is exciting.
''Even after the World Cup is finished we'll keep going. Then once that's finished we'll start training for school again and then get ready for nationals.''
The team will play in curtain-raisers to some Warriors games and matches will be televised.
There will be three trips to Australia, while the other three games will be played at Auckland's Mount Smart Stadium.
They expect a high-level competition as Australia has both strength and depth of talent.
Both Sycamore and Turnbull have shown their pedigree in round-ball codes as well.
Sycamore, a year 13 pupil at Columba College, is also part of the Beko League's Southern Blast netball squad - the feeder team for the Southern Steel.
Turnbull, Columba's director of sport and the school's touch coach, is a experienced member of the Otago Gold Rush basketball team.
However, both will work around touch.
It was too good an opportunity to turn down and Turnbull (25) said you had to prioritise once you reach a certain level.
Turnbull brings plenty of experience to any side and will captain the Touch Blacks at the World Cup.
The oldest player in a young team, she said it had a fit and fast squad.
It avoids Australia in the nine-team pool, although will probably have to go through it in the knockout phases if it gets that far.
Sycamore is going to her first World Cup and is both nervous and excited about the tournament.
Also in the women's team are Otago players Trisha Hopcroft and Olivia O'Neill although O'Neill's involvement is dependent on recovering from glandular fever.
The mixed team includes Jessica Faulks and Atawhai Hotene from Otago.
