List of women's Test cricket records
This is a list of women's Test cricket records; that is, record team and individual performances in women's Test cricket. Records for the short form of women's international cricket, One Day Internationals, are at List of women's One Day International cricket records.
Cricket is, by its nature, capable of generating large numbers of records and statistics. Women's Test cricket has been played since 1934–35 with essentially the same rules as are played today, and therefore many comparisons can be made of teams and individuals through these records.
