The Netherlands men’s national cricket team is a team that represents the
Netherlands in men’s international cricket and is administered by the Royal Dutch Cricket
Association.
Cricket has been played in the Netherlands since at least the 19th century, and in the 1860s
was considered a major sport in the country. Other sports – notably football and field
hockey are popular amongst the Dutch. The Royal Dutch Cricket Association, was formed in
1890 and the Netherlands achieved Associate Membership of the International Cricket
Council (ICC) in 1966. The Netherlands gained full One Day International status from 1
January 2006 until 1 February 2014. They regained Twenty20 International status in June
2014, having played their first match in this format in 2008.
The Netherlands have taken part in all eleven ICC Trophy/World Cup Qualifier tournaments,
winning the competition in Canada in 2001 and finishing as runners-up thrice (in 1986, 1990
and 2023). The Netherlands also participated in the 1996, 2003, 2007 and 2011 Cricket
World Cups, and from 1995 onwards the national team entered the English
domestic NatWest Trophy competition (and its successor, the C&G Trophy). They also
qualified for the 2023 World Cup.
