They played against Bermuda, Guyana, the Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands in the first round, losing all their games.Red Stripe Bowl 2000/01 at Cricket Archive
The Cayman Islands gained associate membership of the ICC in 2002, a year in which they finished third in the Americas Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina after recording wins against Argentina, the Bahamas and Bermuda.Americas Cup 2002 at CricketEurope The 2004 Americas Championship served as a qualifying competition for the 2005 ICC Trophy, and a repeat of their third-place finish from 2002 would have qualified them for that tournament. Wins against Argentina and the Bahamas meant they could only finish fourth however.2005 ICC Trophy Americas qualifying at CricketEurope This did qualify them for a place in a repêchage tournament in early 2005 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They finished fifth in that tournament after beating Kuwait in a play-off match.Scorecard of Cayman Islands v Kuwait, 27 February 2005 at Cricket Archive
