The Finland cricket team toured Denmark to play a two-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series in July 2019.[1][2] These were the first ever matches played by Finland to have T20I status after the International Cricket Council announced that all matches played between Associate Members after 1 January 2019 would have full T20I status.[3] The venue for both matches was Svanholm Park in Brøndby, these being the first T20I matches to be played in Denmark.[4] Denmark won the series 2–0.
