The Hungary national cricket team represents Hungary in international cricket. In June 2012, Hungary was awarded the International Cricket Council (ICC) affiliate member status in annual conference at Kuala Lumpur.[5] In 2017, they became an associate member.[1]
First friendly matches played in Slovenia in September 2007. First official match played in Prague against Bulgaria in August 2008.
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Hungary and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 will be a full T20I.[6]
In 2021 Hungary was among five teams excluded from the ICC T20I Championship for failing to play enough fixtures in the relevant period, an effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
