An electrostatic charge image developing toner includes a toner matrix particle having a core-shell structure. The toner matrix particle contains: a core particle including an amorphous resin, a colorant, a release agent, and a crystalline resin; and a shell layer coating a surface of the core particle at a coverage of 60 to 99%. The shell layer includes an amorphous resin. The amorphous resin contained in the core particle differs from the amorphous resin contained in the shell layer. The toner matrix particle has one to seven discrete shell domains determined by observation of a cross section of the toner matrix particle with an electron microscope.
