Fiji women's national cricket team

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.^[6]

The Fiji women's cricket team came into existence some time in the middle of 2009. In January 2010, Cricket Fiji announced its first international series would take place against Samoa the following month.^[7] Fiji's first international match was played against Samoa on 2 February 2010 at Faleata Oval, Apia. The Fijian captain for the team's inaugural tour was former New Zealand international Losi Harford, who scored 57 runs opening the batting as Fiji lost to Samoa by six runs on debut.^[8]

In January 2011, Cricket Fiji announced its women's team's second tour. This one was to Vanuatu.^[9]

In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members, with all Twenty20 matches played between Fiji women and other international sides after 1 July 2018 having the full T20I status.^[10] Fiji made its T20I debut at the 2019 ICC Women's Qualifier EAP in Vanuatu, losing all five matches.^[11] The team's next T20I appearances came in the 2019 Pacific Games in Samoa, again failing to win ay games.^[12]

In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.^[13] Fiji were named in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup EAP Qualifier regional group, alongside seven other teams. However, the tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[14]

Fiji lost 19 consecutive T20I matches between its debut in 2019 and its inaugural T20I victory against Samoa in the 2023 Women's Pacific Island Cricket Challenge. This surpassed the previous record of 15 consecutive defeats held by Bangladesh.^[15]
