=== Europe === England obviously supports cricket, and the other countries in the United Kingdom (Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland) also play cricket fairly well. Ireland has a test side in women's cricket and made the semi finals of the most recent men's World Cup. Scotland have also made the World Cup in the past. Wales is officially a part of the English national side (it is officially called the "England and Wales side"), although they do sometimes compete separately. Outside of the United Kingdom, the main country is Holland (Netherlands), who have made the World Cup several times. Just the same, cricket in Holland is about as popular as it is in USA and Canada, and would not be in the top 10 most popular sports in the country. Whilst a number of European countries do have national sides that do compete in international contests, outside of UK and perhaps Holland, most people in Europe would not even know what cricket was.
