Falkland Islands in Costa Rica 2024/25

The premise of a competition named "Falkland Islands in Costa Rica" does not correspond to any existing domestic structure in either nation. The Falkland Islands is a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic, while Costa Rica is a sovereign state in Central America. The cricketing relationship between the two is strictly international rather than domestic. The Falkland Islands national team, governed by the Falkland Islands Cricket Association (FICA), has contested matches against the Costa Rica national side, managed by the Costa Rica Cricket Federation (FEDECRIC). These encounters have occurred within broader regional frameworks. For instance, both sides participated in ICC Americas Division 3 and Division 4 tournaments. An International Twenty20 (T20) series took place in March 2025, with the Falkland Islands touring Costa Rica. Earlier fixtures included a 2011 ICC Americas Division 3 tournament hosted in Costa Rica. Domestically, the two nations operate separate cricketing structures. Costa Rica’s top-tier domestic competition is the Costa Rica Cricket League, which was established in 2005. The Croquet and Cricket Club of Costa Rica won the inaugural title. Current details regarding the number of clubs, specific format, and recent champions remain scarce. Falkland Islands cricket is informal and centred in Stanley. The primary local competitions include the "South Atlantic Ashes," a series between the Governor's XI and the Commander British Forces' XI. Additionally, a four-team Twenty20 League involves civilian teams, such as Kelpers and Stanley, alongside military teams like Mount Pleasant and the Royal Navy. No recent champions for these domestic competitions are publicly recorded in major sources. The description of a combined or singular "Falkland Islands in Costa Rica" competition appears to be a conflation of these distinct international fixtures and separate national leagues. Neither entity maintains a domestic league that fits such a description. The cricketing connection remains defined by bilateral matches and participation in shared ICC Americas divisions rather than a joint domestic tournament.

The Falkland Islands and Costa Rica do not share a domestic cricket competition. Their relationship is limited to international matches and regional ICC tournaments.
