The Bermudian women's cricket team is the team that represents the British overseas territory of Bermuda in international women's cricket matches. They made their international debut in September 2006, playing a three match series of one-day games against Canada for the right to represent the Americas region in the Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier to be played in Ireland some time in 2007. They lost the first game by 5 wickets, but came back in fine style, winning the second game by 24 runs, and winning a close third game by just 3 runs.

In the 2007 qualifying tournament, as well as playing the hosts, they will also play The Netherlands, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Scotland, South Africa and an African qualifier. The top two teams in this tournament will qualify for the 2009 World Cup, and the top four teams will gain Test and ODI status for the following four years.

In qualifying for the 2009 World Cup, they lost against South Africa by 10 wickets, with South Africa reaching the required total in just four balls [cite web |url=http://icc-cricket.yahoo.com/womens-wc-qualifier/news/2008/february/womens-news20080218-12.html |title=Loubser Stars as South Africa coast to Victory |accessdate=2008-02-18 |format= |work= ] .
