The Hungary national cricket team represents Hungary in international cricket. In June 2012, Hungary was awarded the International Cricket Council (ICC) affiliate member status during the annual conference at Kuala Lumpur.[5] In 2017, they became an associate member.[1]
Their first friendly matches were played in Slovenia in September 2007. The first official match was played in Prague against Bulgaria in August 2008.
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Hungary and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 are full T20Is.[6]
In 2021 Hungary was among five teams excluded from the ICC T20I Championship for failing to play enough fixtures in the relevant period, an effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
