The Cayman Islands national cricket team is the team that represents the British overseas territory of the Cayman Islands in international cricket matches. The team is organised by the Cayman Islands Cricket Association, which has been an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 2002, having previously been an affiliate member since 1997.
The Cayman Islands debuted internationally at the 2000 Americas Cricket Cup in Canada, and later in the year were invited to appear in the 2000–01 Red Stripe Bowl (the West Indian domestic limited-overs competition), where matches had list-A status. During the early 2000s, the Caymans often competed with Bermuda as the third-best team in the ICC Americas region, behind Canada and the United States. When the U.S. was suspended from the 2005 Intercontinental Cup, they were replaced by the Cayman Islands, with the team being afforded the opportunity to make its first-class debut.
In 2006 and 2008, the Cayman Islands played in the Stanford 20/20 tournament (where matches had full Twenty20 status). In between those competitions, the team had made its debut in the newly created World Cricket League (WCL), being placed into the 2007 Division Three tournament. The Caymans narrowly missed out on promotion there, losing a semi-final to Argentina, but at the 2009 Division Three tournament were relegated to 2010 Division Four. A further relegation followed to 2012 Division Five, while at the 2014 Division Five tournament the Cayman Islands placed fifth, meaning the team's next WCL event will be the 2015 Division Six tournament in England.
