The New Zealand women's cricket team [1] played their first Test match in 1935, when they lost to England. Since then they have only won two Tests, once against Australia, and once against South Africa. Their greatest success in one-day cricket was when they won the 2000 World Cup under captain Emily Drumm. They also play in the annual Rose Bowl series against Australia. On a tour to England in 2004, they played the first ever Twenty20 international against England.
