The Cayman Islands women's national cricket team represents the Cayman Islands, a British overseas territory, in international women's cricket. The team is organised by the Cayman Islands Cricket Association, which has been a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1997.


History

Women's cricket in the Cayman Islands was formally revived in 2009, after several years without organised competition.[1] The national team has only participated in one international tournament, which they hosted – the 2012 ICC Americas Women's Twenty20 Championship.[2] At the event, the team lost its first three matches by heavy margins, losing to the United States by 68 runs,[3] Argentina by eight wickets,[4] and Canada by 106 runs.[5] However, the Caymans won their fourth game easily, defeating Brazil by seven wickets in a match that was reduced to 13 overs per side.[6] The team's final match of the tournament, against Bermuda, was washed out,[7] with the Cayman Islands consequently placing fourth on the points table (out of six teams).[8]
