The Belize women's cricket team toured Costa Rica in December 2019 to play a six-match bilateral Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) series.[1][2] The venue for all of the matches was the Los Reyes Polo Club in Guácima.[1] These were the first WT20I matches for Belize since the ICC's announcement that full WT20I status would apply to all the matches played between women's teams of associate members after 1 July 2018.[3][4] Belize won the series 5–1.
