A three-year deal, the Hurricanes will become the fifth team in the competition, joining the Northern Tide, Southern Storm, City Cyclones and Desert Blaze.
The agreement will also see the Tasmanian men's cricket team host their pre-season camp in Darwin, playing one-day matches against an NT team.
With the team to be comprised of Hurricanes-listed and academy players, coach Adam Griffith said the deal was a major opportunity.
"Playing matches against high quality opposition in the NT men's team during the week, aside from the Strike League, on the first-class facilities at Marrara will benefit the senior players in our program too," he said.
Current Hurricanes players Aaron Summers and Jake Doran played in this year's instalment alongside David Warner and Cam Bancroft.
