New Zealand women's cricket team, United Kingdom tour of 1954

The New Zealand women's national cricket team represents New Zealand in international women's cricket. A full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC), the team is governed by New Zealand Cricket.[1] The New Zealand women's national cricket team competed in international cricket for the first time in 1935 when they played against England in a one-off Test at home.[2][3] They recorded their first Test victory against South Africa in 1972.[4] As of June 2021, they have played 45 Test matches against four different opponents—Australia, England, India, and South Africa. Out of these, New Zealand have won only 2 matches, against Australia and South Africa; 10 have resulted in a loss, while 33 have ended in a draw.[5][6]

New Zealand played their first Women's One Day International cricket (WODI) match against Trinidad and Tobago in the 1973 World Cup, in which they won by 136 runs.[7] As of June 2021, they have played 347 WODIs against thirteen different opponents, and have the third most victories (171) for any team in the format.[8] Out of these, they have played 132 matches against arch rivals Australia, recording only 31 wins. New Zealand have been most successful against England, winning 35 times against the team.[9] They have won the Women's World Cup once, in 2000.[10] Since their first Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) against England in 2004,[11] New Zealand have played 133 WT20I matches as of June 2021.[12] They have recorded 76 wins and have been the third most successful team in the format. New Zealand have recorded the highest number of wins (21) against Australia.[13] They have participated in all editions of the Women's T20 World Cup, and have been the runners-up twice, in 2009[14] and 2010.[15]
