Men's Test cricket began with Australia versus England in 1877, although the early Tests were in fact classified as such retrospectively. Women's Test cricket began in 1934, with Australia Women hosting England Women.

Subsequently, ten other countries have achieved men's Test status: South Africa (1889), West Indies (1928), New Zealand (1929), India (1932), Pakistan (1952), Sri Lanka (1982), Zimbabwe (1992), Bangladesh (2000), Afghanistan (2017), and Ireland (2017). In women's cricket, the teams that have played Test matches are Australia Women (1934), England Women (1934), New Zealand Women (1935), South Africa Women (1960), India Women (1976), West Indies Women (1976), Pakistan Women (1998), Sri Lanka Women (1998), Ireland Women (2000), and Netherlands Women (2007).

The West Indies is a federation whose team is made up of players from various Caribbean nations including Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, the Leewards, and the Windwards. England is actually England and Wales combined (Scotland is separate, although many Scots have played for England); similarly, Ireland is an all-Ireland combination.
