Oman at the Men's T20 World Cup

The Oman national cricket team is one of the associate members of the International Cricket Council (ICC). They qualified for their first T20 World Cup in 2016 after finishing sixth in the 2015 qualifier, during which they defeated Ireland to get their first ever victory in the tournament. They have managed to qualify for two editions since then, in 2021 and 2024.

Oman have been unsuccessful in making it past the first stage of the tournament in all the three editions. They have an overall win–loss record of 2–7 from 10 matches.
