Is there Vector3Int equivalentin XNA?

I wonder if there is a Unity's Vector3Int equivalent in XNA. I don't want to use Vector3 to store three integers in one structure, yet I don't want to create my own class. Is there a structure (like Point<->Vector2 or Rectangle<->Vector4) for Vector3?

The answer is no. Point is a carryover from System.Drawing and Rectangle helps with AABB collisions.

The only caveat to storing integers in floats(they consume the same memory amount) is the possible loss of precision since floats cannot precisely store some values. In most instances this is not a problem. Floating point arithmetic can be slower than integer arithmetic operations.

I would suggest creating a Vector3Int struct:

public struct Vector3Int
{
   public int X;
   public int Y;
   public int Z;

   public Vector3Int()
   {
     X = 0;
     Y = 0;
     Z = 0;
   }
   public Vector3Int(int val)
   {
     X = val;
     Y = val;
     Z = val;
   }
   public Vector3Int(int x, int y, int z)
   {
     X = x;
     Y = y;
     Z = z;
   }
}

This has the advantages of a struct since it is stored on the stack.
