TheIsle of Man men's cricket team is the team that represents theCrown dependency of theIsle of Man ininternational cricket. They became an affiliate member of theInternational Cricket Council (ICC) in 2004[6] and anassociate member in 2017.[2] In October 2020, theIsle of Man Cricket Association planned to establish its first ever women's team.[7]
TheManx cricket team, based in theIsle of Man, joined theICC in 2004, playing their first ICC affiliated competitions in 2005. Previously the national sides had played fixtures against theMCC, on tour in the UK and against touring sides to the Isle of Man.
The first international engagement for the Isle of Man came in 2005 at the European Affiliates Championship. The side was captained by Rob Webber, with the management team of Dougie Hind and Colin Jones. They finished in eighth place in this tournament, which originally meant a demotion to Division Four in the newly expanded five divisionEuropean Championship.[1]
However, when the divisions were announced, the Isle of Man had a place in Division Three for 2007. As they had a year without competitive international cricket in 2006, the Isle of Man arranged two one-day friendly matches againstSpain played atLa Manga Club Ground at the end of September/beginning of October, both of which they won.
In 2007 under Webber, Jones and coachHarvey Anderson, they finished third in the European Division Three, defeating Belgium, Malta (twice) & Cyprus. They were beaten by Spain in the semi-final by fewer wickets lost after a tie on runs. In the 3/4th play-off they recorded a 7 wicket win over Malta. Details on European Division Three 2007 in Belgium can be found in the European Cricket Tournaments archive –[2]
In 2008, The Isle of Man cricket association appointed Gareth Dawson, brother of former test spinnerRichard, as head coach of the Isle of Man cricket team. Dawson would be responsible for all age groups ranging from the junior set ups all the way to the full Senior squad. A goal of achieving Associate status within the European Cricket Council and to reach the world cricket leagues was set.
The team finished second, losing out to Israel at the 2009 European Championships Division three. They went onto win the 2012 ICC European Division Two (T20) tournament in Corfu, earning promotion to Division One in 2013. In 2013, Dawson coached the senior team to a fourth tournament, the European Division 1 championships in Sussex, England
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant fullTwenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, allTwenty20 matches played between the Isle of Man and otherICC members after 1 January 2019 are full T20I.[8]
Isle of Man played their first official T20I on 21 August 2020against Guernsey.[9]

The Isle of Man National team competed in ICC Europe Division 2. After only playing three games, with one win and two losses, the team was not able to progress onto the next round.
On day 1 after a close loss to Belgium in the final over of game 1 and a rain affected win against Finland, Isle of Man weren't badly placed. But defeats in the next three matches resulted in a last-place finish at the2018 T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier.
The Isle of Man under the guidance of team manager Sally Green and head couch Greig Wright headed to Finland to compete in theT20 World Cup qualifiers. They won all their four group games, advancing to the final but were unable to advance to regional final after losing to Italy in the final.
In 2023 the team achieved a record low score in a Twenty20 International game (and allTwenty20 cricket) against Spain, being dismissed for 10 runs.[10] This surpassed the previous record low-score in Twenty20 matches of 15 all out made bySydney Thunder in 2022.
