Kuwait made its international debut at the 2009 ACC Women's Twenty20 Championship in Malaysia. [4] The team failed to win any of its matches in the group stage, [5] and also lost to Qatar in the eleventh-place play-off, thus finishing twelfth and last overall. [6] 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. [7] 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. [8] 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. [9] They lost to the United Arab Emirates, and did not return for the following year's tournament, owing to scheduling conflict. [10]

In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Kuwait women and another international side after 1 July 2018 have the full WT20I status. [11] Kuwait made their Twenty20 International debut against Malaysia in the 2019 ICC Women's Qualifier Asia at Bangkok on 18 February 2019. [12]

In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. [13] Kuwait were named in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier regional group, alongside seven other teams. [14]
