The Hong Kong men's national cricket team is the team that represents Hong Kong in international competitions. It played its first match in 1866[6] and has been an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1969.[7]
Hong Kong played its first One Day Internationals in the 2004 Asia Cup,[8] and in January 2014 was granted ODI status until 2018, as a result of finishing third in the 2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier.[9] The team gained Twenty20 International status in November 2013, as a result of qualifying for the 2014 ICC World Twenty20.[10] Hong Kong lost their ODI status in March 2018 after losing to the Netherlands in a play-off match during the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier.[11] They did, however, play two further ODI matches at the 2018 Asia Cup in September 2018 after winning the 2018 Asia Cup Qualifier, as the ICC announced that all matches played at the finals would have ODI status.[12]
Hong Kong has played in every ICC Trophy/World Cup Qualifier tournament, with the exceptions of the 1979 and 2005 events.[13] It has also taken part in two ICC Intercontinental Cup tournaments, in 2005[14] and in 2015–17, and in two ICC T20 World Cup tournaments, in 2014 and 2016.
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Hong Kong and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 have the full T20I status.[15]
