The Croatia national cricket team is the team that represents Croatia in international cricket. The team is organised by the Croatian Cricket Federation, which became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2001[6] and an associate member in 2017.[2] Croatia made its international debut at the 2000 ECC Representative Festival in Austria. It has since regularly played in the lower levels of European Cricket Council tournaments, as well as in various other series against European sides.[7]

In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Croatia and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 have the T20I status.[8]
