The 2014 ICC Europe Division Two was an international 20-over cricket tournament hosted in Essex, England, from 23 to 26 June 2014. The first round of matches were held at the County Cricket Ground, Chelmsford, while all other games were split between Garon Park, Southend-on-Sea, and the Toby Howe Cricket Ground, Billericay.
The tournament was contested by six teams, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, and Norway. The teams played each other once in a round-robin, with Norway finishing undefeated from their five matches to gain promotion to the 2015 ICC Europe Division One tournament. Belgium were the runner-up, while Germany were winless. Two Norwegian players, Ehtsham Ul-Haq and Safir Hayat, led the tournament in runs and wickets, respectively.
