Cricket at the 2019 Pacific Games was held between 8–13 July 2019 at the Faleata Oval Grounds in Apia, Samoa.[1] A men's and women's Twenty20 event took place, with matches eligible to carry Twenty20 International status if both teams were members of the ICC and meet player eligibility criteria. Papua New Guinea won the gold medal in the men's after defeating Vanuatu by 32 runs in the final, but were beaten in the final of the women's event by Samoa.[2]
