By making the semi-finals that year, Bermuda qualified for the 2007 World Cup, becoming the smallest country to do so (both in terms of population and area).

Some international games were played against American sides, principally from Philadelphia in the late 19th century, but the cricketing strength of the island diminished greatly after the First World War.

After the Second World War cricket regained popularity in Bermuda, and many tours arrived, including some Test sides on the way to the West Indies.

However, the rule was bent to allow Garry Sobers to play some games for them under the captaincy of Brian Close during a festival match in Bermuda.

Bermuda's first international engagement of 2006 ended in disappointment, when they lost every game on a five-match tour of the UAE.

Bermuda played their first One-Day International in May 2006, and were successful in their first outing, beating Canada at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad as part of a triangular series which also included Zimbabwe.

The following month they toured Canada, playing a four-day ICC Intercontinental Cup game and two ODIs.

They lost the Intercontinental Cup game by nine wickets in a match that went into the final hour, but won both of the two ODIs.

Also in August, they played in Division One of the ICC Americas Championship and went on to win the tournament for the first time, without losing a game.

At the end of January 2007, Bermuda travelled to Kenya for the Division One tournament of the ICC World Cricket League.

Their opening match was against Bangladesh where they posted 205/8 in their 50 overs, Lionel Cann top scoring with 33 off just 23 balls, however Bangladeshi opener Shahriar Nafees quickly silenced any thought of Bermuda pulling off a win, posting 104 not out and guiding Bangladesh home to an 8 wicket win.

[20] After winning the toss and deciding to bat against Canada, Bermuda scored 206/8 from their 50 overs: an innings that was saved from collapse in large due to the partnerships between captain Irving Romaine and Saleem Mukuddem, for 57, as well as Lionel Cann and Delyone Borden, for 38.

Come the Canadian innings, opener Abdool Samad took to the crease in similar fashion to Nafees the day before.

Delyone Borden's spin bowling brought them back into the game – taking 4 wickets for just 33 runs, and reducing Canada to 179/6; but the tail end of Canada's batting order got them the 207 runs they required – with 6 overs to spare and losing just 1 more wicket – to finish on 207/7.

The Bermudian innings came to a close after just 22.2 overs with England claiming all 10 wickets with just 45 runs on the scorecard, with the highest runner getting 11.

Janeiro Tucker scored 56, but was one of only 4 players to reach double figures before Bermuda were bowled out on the last ball of their innings for 136.

In response, David Hemp posted the maiden Bermudian half century in World Cup cricket with 76 not out.

Bermuda posted 94/9 in that time, with David Hemp top scoring again (with 23); but Bangladesh reached 96 in 17.3 overs, despite losing 3 quick wickets.

Between October and November they played the remainder of their Intercontinental Cup matches, against Kenya and the United Arab Emirates, as well as an ODI series against both nations.

In the 2014 ICC World Cricket League Division Three, Bermuda capitulated against all teams, managing one win against Malaysia.
