TheNamibia women's national cricket team, nicknamed theCapricorn Eagles,^[4] represents the country ofNamibia in internationalwomen's cricket. The team is organised byCricket Namibia, which has been a member of theInternational Cricket Council (ICC) since 1992.

Namibia made its international debut at the 2004ICC Africa Women's Twenty20 Championship in Tanzania, but failed to win a match.^[5] The team's closest result came in the opening match againstKenya, where they were bowled out for 106, and eventually lost by five wickets.^[6] In the second game, againstUganda, they lost by 152 runs,^[7] while in the final game, againstTanzania, they were bowled out for just 29, and lost by ten wickets.^[8] After their debut, Namibia did not compete in another Africa-wide tournament until the 2011ICC Africa Women's Twenty20 Championship in Uganda. They have since regularly competed inICC Africa competitions, without much success.^[5] Namibia also play in regional competitions against other southern African teams, and in the past have appeared in South African provincial competitions (asthe national men's team does).^[9]

In April 2018, theInternational Cricket Council (ICC) granted fullWomen's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, allTwenty20 matches played between Namibia women and otherICC members since 1 July 2018 have the full WT20I status.^[10]

Namibia's first WT20I matches were contested as part of theBotswana 7s tournament in August 2018 againstBotswana,Lesotho,Malawi,Mozambique,Sierra Leone andZambia (Zambia's matches were not classified as WT20Is as they had a Botswanan player in their squad).^[11] Namibia finished top of the table, winning all five group stage matches^[12] and won the final against Sierra Leone by a margin of ninewickets.^[13][14]

In July 2019, theInternational Cricket Council (ICC) suspendedZimbabwe Cricket, with the team barred from taking part in ICC events.^[15][16] The following month, with Zimbabwe banned from taking part in international cricket tournaments, the ICC confirmed that Namibia would replace them in the2019 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament.^[17][18]

In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.^[19] Namibia were named in the2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier regional group, alongside ten other teams.^[20]

In March 2024,Cricket Namibia awarded professional contracts to members of the women's team for the first time, with 10 players receiving a contract.^[21] As a result,Cricket Namibia became the first sporting body in Namibia to award central contracts to both men and women.^[22]
