The Peruvian national cricket team, the Llamas, have performed admirably over the past decade or so. Although every year we have hosted an Easter tournament, many of these games have not been considered full internationals as often visitors have not been able to field complete sides or they have not fully represented other countries.  The South American Cricket Championships were considered full internationals, however, and Peru has participated in all but one of these tournaments (also hosting two).

In the Easter tournaments, we have tasted success against Brazil, Chile and the Guyana Masters.  The greatest moments for the national team have come in the South American Championships, among them the victory over Venezuela in the 2000 SAC4 in Buenos Aires and the narrow loss to the Argentina A team in the 2004 SAC6 in Santiago.

These triumphs were usurped in February 2008, with Peru’s first official international victory over Brazil at the ICC Americas Division III Championship in Buenos Aires! Affiliation to the ICC has injected new life into Cricket Peru’s international itinerary, with involvement in the World Cricket League, an official World ranking and participation in bi-annual championships with the opportunity to be promoted or relegated. Most recently Peru participated in the ICC Americas Division III Championship in Santiago, Chile in October 2009.
