The Namibia women's national cricket team represents the country of Namibia in international women's cricket. The team is organised by the Namibia Cricket Board, which has been a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1992.
Namibia made its international debut at the 2004 Africa Women's Cricket Tournament in Tanzania, but failed to win a match. The team's closest result came in the opening match against Kenya, where they were bowled out for 106, and eventually lost by five wickets. In the second game, against Uganda, they lost by 152 runs, while in the final game, against Tanzania, they were bowled out for just 29, and lost by ten wickets. After their debut, Namibia did not compete in another Africa-wide tournament until the 2011 ICC Africa Women's T20 Tournament in Uganda. They have since regularly competed in ICC Africa competitions, without much success. Namibia also play in regional competitions against other southern African teams, and in the past have appeared in South African provincial competitions (as the national men's team does).
