The franchise Jamaica Tallawahs was the representative team of Jamaica in the Caribbean Premier League of cricket. It was one of the six teams created in 2013 for the inaugural season of the tournament. In December 2023, it was announced that the team would not participate in CPL 2024 due to a lack of support from the Jamaican government. Instead, a new team from Antigua would take its place, ending Jamaica's run in the CPL. The Jamaica Tallawahs played their home games at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica.

The Tallawahs won the inaugural tournament by defeating the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the final at Queen's Park Oval, they also won the 2016 CPL season. They are known for their formidable home record, winning 5 out of their 6 home games in CPL History since the end of the 2014 season. They are also the only team in CPL History to play all 11 local players in a match which they did in 2013 at home against the TT Red Steel where all 11 Tallawah players were Jamaican.

Hollywood actor Gerard Butler has an equity interest in the franchise.[1]

After 2023 season, the owners were forced to sell back the franchise to the CPL, stating that they could not find a way to operate the team sustainably. This franchise is set to be replaced by another franchise based out of Antigua.[2]
