The Scotland women's national cricket team represents Scotland in international women's cricket. The team is organised by Cricket Scotland, an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Scotland was involved in the first international women's cricket match, when they played against England in August 1932. The team played sporadically throughout the remainder of the 20th century, with regular competition beginning only in 2000. Scotland's first international tournament was the 2001 European Championship, where matches held One Day International (ODI) status.
In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Scotland women and another international side after 1 July 2018 will be eligible for WT20I status.[6] In May 2022, the ICC announced Scotland as one of five women's sides to gain ODI status.[7] Netherlands, Papua New Guinea, Thailand and the United States are the other four teams.[8] In 2024, Scotland created history by reaching their first ever senior global tournament, as they qualified for the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.
