View All FixturesThe Cayman Islands national cricket team is the team that represents the British overseas territory of the Cayman Islands in international cricket. The team is organised by the Cayman Islands Cricket Association, which has been an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 2002, having previously been an affiliate member since 1997.
The Cayman Islands became an affiliate member of the ICC in 1997 and played their first tournament three years later when they played in the ICC Americas Championship in Canada. They finished fourth in the tournament, their only win coming against Argentina. Later in the year, they played their first List A matches as part of the 2000–01 Red Stripe Bowl in the West Indies.
They played against Bermuda, Guyana, the Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands in the first round, losing all their games. The Cayman Islands gained associate membership of the ICC in 2002, a year in which they finished third in the Americas Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina after recording wins against Argentina, the Bahamas and Bermuda. The 2004 Americas Championship served as a qualifying competition for the 2005 ICC Trophy, and a repeat of their third-place finish from 2002 would have qualified them for that tournament.
Wins against Argentina and the Bahamas meant they could only finish fourth however. This did qualify them for a place in a repêchage tournament in early 2005 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They finished fifth in that tournament after beating Kuwait in a play-off match.
Later in 2005, the Cayman Islands took part in the ICC Intercontinental Cup, a tournament for ICC associate members with first-class status. They lost both their first round matches to Bermuda and Canada, thus not qualifying for the semi-finals. In 2006, they first played in the inaugural Stanford 20/20 tournament.
They beat the Bahamas in the preliminary round, but lost to Trinidad & Tobago in the first round proper. In August 2006, they finished third in Division One of the ICC Americas Championship after wins against Argentina and Canada. This qualified them for 2007 Division Three of the World Cricket League, which was played in May/June 2007 in Darwin, Australia.
After beating Hong Kong and Tanzania in the first round, they lost to Argentina in the semi-finals, and to Papua New Guinea in the third place play-off, thus finishing fourth in the tournament. In 2009 they again placed in 2009 Division Three in which they came 5th thus relegating to Division Four. Like Argentina their bad run continued and again finished fifth only winning over Argentina.
In 2012, they managed to stop the fall, finishing fourth in 2012 Division Five.
