The Belize National Cricket Association is the national governing body of cricket in Belize, established in 1997. It gained affiliation with the International Cricket Council in 1997, the Belize National Sports Council in 2016, and the Belize Olympic Committee in 2020.
The Association was established and affiliated to the International Cricket Council, as an affiliate member, in 1997.[5] Its inaugural president was Elston Wade Jr., who served in office until 2011.[5] It was admitted into the Belize National Sports Council in 2016, and the Belize Olympic Committee on 18 July 2020.[5][6] The Association has recently sought to strengthen its relationship with Cricket West Indies.[7][8]
Notably, in 2019, the Association organised the Level 1 training and certification, by Cricket West Indies, of ten amateur coaches, thought to be 'the only known qualified coaches in the country.'[5][a] It also spearheaded the formation of a national women's team during the same year, an achievement the Association has deemed 'a milestone in cricket in Belize.'[5]
