The Brazil women's national cricket team represents the country of Brazil in women's cricket matches. The team made its international debut in 2007, with Brazil having been a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 2002. Brazil is one of the leading teams in the ICC Americas region, along with the United States and Canada, but is yet to qualify for any global tournaments.

History

Brazil made its international debut against Argentina in 2007, hosting a three-match series in Curitiba.[6]

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 Brazil women and another international side since 1 July 2018 have been full WT20I matches.[7]

Brazil's first WT20I matches were contested as part of the South American Women's Championships in August 2018 against Chile, Mexico and Peru (although Peru's matches were not classified as WT20Is as not all of their players met the ICC residency requirements).[8] Brazil won all group stage matches and defeated Chile by 92 runs in the final.[9]

In January 2020, Cricket Brazil awarded central contracts to fourteen of its players.[10][11]

In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.[12] Brazil were named in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier regional group, alongside three other teams.[13] In that qualifier, Brazil finished second,[14] and also achieved a miraculous one-run win over Canada, by taking five wickets in the last five consecutive deliveries of the two teams' second T20I match against each other.[15]

Brazil was invited to the 2022 Kwibuka Women's T20 Tournament in Rwanda, along with Germany, becoming one of the first two non-African teams to participate in the tournament.[16][17] Brazil recorded wins over Germany and Botswana in the round-robin stage of the tournament, before losing to Nigeria in the fifth-place play-off.[18]
