The return of captain Kieran Read, lock Brodie Retallick and experienced hooker Dane Coles highlight the squad.
The All Blacks open the competition against the Wallabies in Sydney on August 18.
As well as the 33-man squad, two other players will assemble with the squad as injury cover. Hooker Liam Coltman comes in as cover for Coles, who is expected to return to test match rugby some time during the Rugby Championship, while midfielder Ngani Laumape comes in for Sonny Bill Williams, who is recovering from a shoulder injury.
