The Sierra Leone women's national cricket team represents Sierra Leone in international women's cricket.
In 2011 Sierra Leone was invited to the Africa Twenty20 Women's Tournament held in Uganda.[6] The team participated in the inaugural 2015 North West Africa Cricket Council (NWACC) women's tournament held in The Gambia. The team finished undefeated at the tournament ahead of Gambia, Ghana and Mali.[7]
In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Sierra Leone women and another international side since 1 July 2018 have the WT20I status.[8]
Sierra Leone's first WT20I matches were contested as part of the Botswana 7s tournament in August 2018 against Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia and Zambia (matches against Zambia did not have WT20I status).[9] Sierra Leone finished second on the table, with four wins and one loss[10] and lost the final against Namibia by nine wickets.[11][12]
In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.[13] Sierra Leone were named in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier regional group, alongside ten other teams.[14]
