Saint Lucia Kings (formerly known as St Lucia Stars and St Lucia Zouks)[1] are the representative team of Saint Lucia in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) of cricket. It is one of the six teams created in 2013 for the inaugural season of the tournament. The Zouks won only 4 games out of 14 in the first two seasons finishing last and second last in the tournament respectively.

For the 2017 season, the franchise chose to rebrand under a new name and logo as the St Lucia Stars.

In 2018, St Lucia Stars finished fifth in Caribbean Premier League winning three out of their ten matches.

In the 2019 season, St Lucia finished fifth again and narrowly missed out on a semi-final spot.

In the 2020 season, St Lucia finished as Runner's up and missed out the opportunity to Win the season.

In 2021, Punjab Kings, the IPL franchise bought the team ownership and renamed it to Saint Lucia Kings.[2] Again in the 2021 season, St Lucia finished as Runner's up and missed out the opportunity to Win the season.
