The Oman women's national cricket team represents the country of Oman in international women's cricket. The team is organised by Oman Cricket, which has been a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 2000.

Oman made its international debut at the 2009 ACC Women's Twenty20 Championship in Malaysia.[4] The team won only a single match in the group stage, against Kuwait,[5] and were eventually ranked tenth after losing to Bhutan in the ninth-place play-off.[6] At the tournament's 2011 edition, hosted by Kuwait, Oman failed to win a game.[7] In December 2014, Oman hosted the inaugural edition of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Women's Twenty20 Championship, which was also contested by Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.[8][9] The team placed third at the tournament, ahead of Kuwait, and finished in the same position at the following year's tournament, which was held in Qatar.[10]

In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Oman women and another international side after 1 July 2018 will be a full WT20I.[11] Oman played their first matches with WT20I status in January 2020 during a triangular series against Qatar and Kuwait, which was held in Doha.[12]
