The Guyana women's cricket team is the women's representative cricket team of the country of Guyana. They compete in the Women's Super50 Cup and the Twenty20 Blaze.

History[]

Guyana joined the West Indies domestic structure in 1977, competing in the Federation Championships, in which they finished 4th out of 5 teams.[1] They competed again in the next edition of the tournament, 1980, winning two matches, against Grenada and Barbados.[2]

Guyana then did not compete in any tournaments until 2001, losing every match in their return season.[3] They have competed in most tournaments since, with a brief hiatus in 2006 and 2007, and joined the Twenty20 Blaze for its inaugural season in 2012.[4] In 2013, they reached the semi-finals of the T20 competition before losing to eventual winners Jamaica.[5] They achieved their best finish in the 50-over competition in 2014, reaching the final before losing to Jamaica.[6]

In the most recent season, 2018–19, Guyana finished 4th out of 6 in both competitions (which were both held in Guyana).[7][8]
