The inaugural Women's Under-19 World Cup was scheduled to take place in January 2021, but was postponed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament was eventually scheduled to take place in 2023, in South Africa. Rwanda competed in the Africa Qualifier for the tournament in September 2022. They finished second in their group, winning three of their four matches to qualify for the semi-finals. They went on to beat Uganda in the semi-finals and Tanzania, by 6 wickets, in the final. It was the first time that a Rwandan side had qualified for a Cricket World Cup in any format. Rwanda announced their squad for the tournament on 18 December 2022, with Leonard Nhamburo announced as Head Coach of the side. Rwanda beat both Zimbabwe and the West Indies as they reached the Super Six stage of the tournament. Rwanda bowler Henriette Ishimwe took four wickets in four balls against Zimbabwe. Recent call-ups
