The Peru national cricket team is the team that represents the country of Peru in international cricket matches. The team is organised by the Peru Cricket Association, which became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2007. The Peruvian national side made its international debut in 1927, represented by the Lima Cricket and Football Club, playing against a touring MCC team. Regular competition against other South American teams began in the 1960s, and has continued into the present.
Peru has participated in all but one edition of the South American Championship since the first tournament in 1995, and has more recently played in ICC Americas tournaments, generally in the lower divisions.
Peru gained affiliate membership of the International Cricket Council on 29 June 2007. They have played in all but one edition of the South American Championship from 1995 onwards, hosting in 1999, 2007 and 2014.
They competed in the ICC Americas Championship from 2008 to 2011, with their best finish being 2nd in 2011.
They have also competed in the Central American Championship, in Panama City, in 2015.
Cricket Peru men's team - the 'Llamas' - competed three times in the ICC Americas Division III, an officially-sanctioned ranking tournament, overseen by the International Cricket Council that offered a pathway to World League Cricket and potentially to playing in the World Cup.
1. Buenos Aires, Argentina: 12 – 16 Feb, 2008
This was a 50-over tournament, played at different venues in Buenos Aires, featuring 5 teams - Belize, Brazil, Chile, Peru and Turks & Caicos Islands - that had a stunning climax with three teams in a position to win the tournament before the final ball of the tournament. The eventual winners were the Turks and Caicos Islands, who were promoted to Division II.
Second place went to Chile on account of their lower net run rate. Belize finished third.
