The Austria women's cricket team toured Italy in August 2021 to play a five-match bilateral Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) series.[1] The matches were played at the Roma Cricket Ground in the Spinaceto area of Rome,[2] and were the first official WT20I matches played by Italy.[3] A tri-nation series including Jersey had been scheduled, but they were unable to take part due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.[4]

In July 2021, the Italian Cricket Federation organised training camps in the north and south of the country and selected a squad to represent these two areas in warm-up matches, after which a 20-player squad (including reserves) was selected.[5] The Italians won the series opener,[6] which was their first official WT20I match.[7] After levelling the series on day two,[8] Austria gained an unassailable lead by winning a double-header on the fourth day.[9] Italy gained a consolation victory by a single run in the final match, while Austria won the series 3–2.[10]
