In the title compound, [Cd(NCS)2(C7H7N5)2(H2O)2], the CdII cation lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by the N atoms of two thiocyanate anions, by N atoms of two 6-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)pyridin-2-amine ligands and by the O atoms of two water molecules in a distorted N4O2 octahedral geometry. The dihedral angle between the triazole and pyridine rings is 23.15 (12)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...N and O—H...S hydrogen bonds. Offset π–π stacking between parallel pyridine rings of adjacent molecules is also observed, the centroid–centroid distance being 3.6319 (14) Å.
