Germany became an affiliate member of the ICC in 1991,[1] but did not play their first international until 1995, when they took part in the European Nations Cup in Oxford, England, playing against Austria, Sweden, Greece and France.[3] They hosted the tournament in 1996, playing against France, Portugal, Sweden and France,[4] and finished as runners up in the 1997 tournament after losing to France by one run in the final,[5] the winning run being scored by David Bordes whilst he had a skull fracture. The Wisden Cricketers' Almanack later listed the final as one of the 100 best matches of the 20th century.[6]
In 1998, Germany competed in the European Championship for the first time and finished seventh.[7] They became an associate member of the ICC the following year[1] and played in Division Two of the European Championship in 2000, finishing as runners-up to Gibraltar.[8]
They played at the 2001 ICC Trophy in Canada, their first and, to date, only appearance in the ICC Trophy.[9] They failed to progress beyond the first round[10] and again finished as runners up to Gibraltar in Division Two of the European Championship the following year.[11] They also played in Division Two in 2004, finishing third,[12] and in 2006, again finishing third.[13]
