Guernsey has a long rivalry with the neighbouring
Channel Island of
Jersey, playing an annual encounter against each other known as the
inter-insular match since 1950. Guernsey had a run of 10 consecutive defeats from 1992 to 2001. They made their debut at the
European Championship in 2006, and finished in 5th place in Division Two, the tournament being won by
Norway. Since then they have won promotion to the T20 Championship Division One. International matches are being played by Guernsey outside the above two events also, with matches against
Bermuda and
Namibia in 2005, and more matches against Bermuda in 2006. Games against
France and a tour of
Canada were planned for 2007. Guernsey placed second at the
2009 Global Division Seven tournament, advancing to
Division Six. In Division Six Guernsey finished 4th and therefore remained in
Division Six. They came first in the 2011
Division Six tournament, advancing to
2012 ICC World Cricket League Division Five. However, they came third in the
Division Five tournament, remaining in the division, before coming 5th and being relegated to
Division Six for the 2015 season, winning immediate promotion puts them back in
Division Five, where in 2016 they came third, remaining in Division Five. In September 2018, Guernsey qualified from Group C of the
2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier to the Regional Finals of the tournament. Guernsey hosted group C of the
T20 World Cup European sub-regional qualifier in August 2024, winning the tournament with a six-wicket victory over
Denmark in the final to advance to the five-team
European final where two places at the
2026 T20 World Cup were at stake. At the European final held in the Netherlands in July 2025, Guernsey finished fifth after losing three matches and having one abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain. ==Grounds==
