The Fiji women's national cricket team is the team that represents the country of Fiji in international Women's cricket matches. Fiji has been an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1965,[5] although the team's history of the game in the country goes back to the late 19th century.[6]
In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Fiji women and another international side since 1 July 2018 have been a full WT20I.[7]
Cricket was introduced to Fiji by European settlers in 1874, and the native population began taking up the game in 1878. The governor of Fiji at the time listed introducing cricket to the native Fijians as one of the achievements of his tenure in his memoirs.[8]
The Fiji women's cricket team came into existence some time in the middle of 2009. In January 2010, Cricket Fiji announced its first ever National Women’s Cricket team that will play a three match series against Samoa in Samoa in the first week of February.[9]
In January 2011, Cricket Fiji announced its women's team's second tour. This one was to Vanuatu.[10]
In May 2019, Fiji Women's cricket team participated in 2019 ICC Women's Qualifier EAP regional group where they finished last. In July 2019, Fiji Women's cricket team participated in the Pacific Games and finished 4th.
