A trial date has been set for the three men accused of raping a woman in Auckland on New Year's Day.

The trio - all of whom have name suppression - appeared in the Auckland District Court on Wednesday afternoon charged with sexual violation.

They first appeared in court in late January.

Judge Kevin Glubb set a trail date in May next year.

The three men were remanded on bail and are expected to reappear in June.
