The Kuwait women's national cricket team represents the country of Kuwait in international women's cricket. The team is organised by Cricket Kuwait, which has been a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1998.

Kuwait made its international debut at the 2009 ACC Women's Twenty20 Championship in Malaysia.[1] The team failed to win any of its matches in the group stage,[2] and also lost to Qatar in the eleventh-place play-off, thus finishing twelfth and last overall.[3] Kuwait had greater success at the tournament's 2011 edition, however, placing fourth of five teams in their group and then going on to defeat Bhutan in the seventh-place play-off.[4] At the 2013 ACC Women's Championship, where matches were played over 25 overs, Kuwait won only a single game, against Singapore, and were ranked last of the eleven participants.[5] Outside of Asian Cricket Council (ACC) tournaments, the team also competed in the inaugural edition of the Gulf Cricket Council (GCC) Women's Twenty20 Championship in 2014.[6] They lost to the United Arab Emirates, and did not return for the following year's tournament, owing to scheduling conflict.[7]
