The Guyana Amazon Warriors are a cricket team in the Caribbean Premier League with headquarters in Providence, Georgetown, Guyana. As Guyana's national cricket squad, the group participates in the Caribbean Premier League. It was one of the six teams that were put together in 2013 for the inaugural tournament.
