Fiji has been an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1965,[4] although the team's history goes back to the late 19th century.

The governor of Fiji at the time listed introducing cricket to the native Fijians as one of the achievements of his tenure in his memoirs.

[7] Fiji's team on the tour in 1895 was captained by John Udal,[8] whose great-grandson Shaun would eventually play Test cricket for England.

[13] The final two matches of the tour went much better for the Fijians, winning against Hawke's Bay by an innings after a century from John Collins,[14] and beating Taranaki by two wickets.

[15] In 1907–08, Fiji toured Australia, playing 26 matches against state, university and district sides between 11 December 1907 and 30 March 1908.

Fiji won the match against a team featuring the likes of Garfield Sobers by 28 runs despite being bowled out for 91, largely thanks to a six wicket haul from John Gosling.

[41] In 2001, Fiji played in the first Pacifica Cup in Auckland, reaching the final where they lost to the New Zealand Māori by three wickets.

[44] The following year, they took part in the EAP Challenge in Fuji City, Japan, winning after beating Tonga in the final.

[45] At that tournament in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, they reached the final, where they lost to Papua New Guinea by 30 runs, thus missing out on the 2005 ICC Trophy.

They won the tournament winning all of their matches against the Cook Islands and Japan, qualifying them for Division Three of the World Cricket League in Darwin, Australia.

[50] Fiji took part in the 2010 ICC World Cricket League Division Five in Nepal, where they finished sixth and last and in doing so failed to win a single match in the tournament.
