History
The Italian Cricket Federation (FCI) established a domestic tournament for women in 2001. It was abandoned after two years and resumed in 2009, featuring up to seven teams before it was again abandoned in 2017.[6] The national team made its debut in 2013, hosting a five-team tournament in Bologna that also featured Belgium, Denmark, Estonia and Gibraltar.[7]
A new six-team national women's league was announced in 2020 and began play in 2021.[6] Italy made its Twenty20 International debut against Austria in August 2021, hosting a five-match series.[8] Prior to the series the FCI organised training camps in the north and south of the country before selecting a 20-woman squad.[9] Austria won the series 3–2.[10]
In 2023, it was announced Italy would participate in the qualifying process for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup for the first time, by playing in the Europe Division Two qualifier in Jersey.[11]
