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 Saint Lucia Stars. In 2018, they finished fifth in Caribbean Premier League winning three out of their ten matches. In 2019, they finished fifth again and narrowly missed out on a semi-final spot. In 2020, Saint Lucia finished as runners-up. In 2021, Punjab Kings, the IPL franchise bought the team ownership and renamed it to Saint Lucia Kings. Saint Lucia again finished as runners-up.
