The
Italian Cricket Federation (FCI) established a domestic tournament for women in 2001. It was abandoned after two years and resumed in 2009, featuring up to seven teams before it was again abandoned in 2017. A new six-team national women's league was announced in 2020 and began play in 2021. Italy made its
Twenty20 International debut
against Austria in August 2021, hosting a five-match series. Prior to the series the FCI organised training camps in the north and south of the country before selecting a 20-woman squad. Austria won the series 3–2. In 2023, it was announced Italy would participate in the qualifying process for the
ICC Women's T20 World Cup for the first time, by playing in the Europe Division Two qualifier in
Jersey. ==Current Squad==
