The Canadian women's national cricket team is the team that represents the country of Canada in international women's cricket matches. They made their international debut in September 2006 in a three match series of one-day games against Bermuda to decide which team would represent the Americas region in the Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Ireland in 2007. Canada started well, with a five wicket win in the first win - Game 1,^[1] but Bermuda came back with 24 run win in the second - Game 2.^[2] The third game went down to the wire, with Bermuda triumphing by just 3 runs - Game 3.^[3]

In 2007 Canada won the inaugural ICC Americas Championship held in Toronto, Canada. They recorded victories over Argentina^[4] and Bermuda.^[5] They also played an exhibition game against Trinidad and Tobago under-17s.^[6]

In 2009 Canada successfully defended the ICC Americas Championship in Florida, United States, with wins in the T20 portion of the competition over Argentina^[7] and Bermuda.^[8] Following this, they defeated the United States^[9] and had a washout versus Argentina^[10] which left them atop the points table.

In 2010 a regional qualifier was held in Toronto Canada between Canada and the United States. Canada lost all three 50 over matches, Game 1,^[11] Game 2,^[12] Game 3^[13] resulting in the United States qualifying for the World Cup qualifier held in Bangladesh 2011. Canada did however win both T20 games held following the qualifier, Game 1^[14] and Game 2.^[15]

In 2012 the ICC Americas T20 Women's Championship was held in the Cayman Islands. Canada registered wins over Brazil,^[16] Bermuda,^[17] Cayman Islands,^[18] and Argentina.^[19] The final match versus the United States was a washout, resulting in Canada winning the tournament with a superior net run rate.

Canada now look to 2013 where they will be representing the Americas in the T20 World Cup Qualifiers.
