The New Zealand women's under-19 cricket team represents New Zealand in international under-19 women's cricket. The team is administrated by New Zealand Cricket (NZC).

Contents

The team played their first official matches against India in late 2022, in preparation for the 2023 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup, the first ever international women's under-19 cricket competition, [1] where New Zealand reached the semi-finals. [2]

History

The inaugural Women's Under-19 World Cup was scheduled to take place in January 2021, but was postponed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [3] The tournament was eventually scheduled to take place in 2023, in South Africa. As a Full Member of the ICC, New Zealand qualified automatically for the tournament. [4]

In November and December 2022, in preparation for the World Cup, New Zealand played a five-match T20I series against India, losing the series 5–0. [5] [6] Subsequently, New Zealand announced their 15-player squad for the World Cup, on 13 December 2022, with former international Sara McGlashan named as Head Coach. [7] The side went unbeaten through the first two group stages of the tournament to qualify for the semi-finals, but lost by 8 wickets to India in the semi-final. [2] [8]
