The Romania national cricket team represents the country of Romania in international cricket. Cricket was played in Romania between 1893 and 1930. In recent years the game has begun to grow again, particularly in Bucharest, Timișoara and Cluj-Napoca. In July 2010, they played in a European Twenty20 tournament which was held in Skopje, Macedonia. On 29 June 2013, Romania was granted affiliate status by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and are therefore entitled to participate in ICC official events. In 2017, they became an associate member.
As in a number of European countries, the game is dominated by expatriates from traditional cricket-playing nations in the Indian subcontinent and the Commonwealth of Nations. The main ground of the team for national and international matches is at Moara Vlăsiei, 26 km (16 miles) away from the Bucharest city centre. It was built between 2011 and 2013 and is the only turf cricket ground in Central and Eastern Europe.
Romania won the 2021 Sofia Twenty20 cup, where they defeated Bulgaria in the final. They have been gaining prominence in the European cricket scene, with their performances improving in recent seasons.
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Romania and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 will be a full T20I.
Romania played its first T20I match against Austria on 29 August 2019 during the 2019 Continental Cup in Romania.
