Abstract: Using a data sample of 89.5 fb$^{-1}$ recorded at the energy $\sqrt{s}=10.52$ GeV with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider, we report measurements of branching fractions of semileptonic decays $\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \ell^{+} \nu_{\ell}$ ($\ell=e$ or $\mu$). Furthermore, based on an additional data sample of 711 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s} = 10.58$ GeV, the $CP$-asymmetry parameter of $\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \pi^{+}$ decay is extracted. The branching fractions are measured to be ${\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} e^{+} \nu_{e})=(1.72 \pm 0.10 \pm 0.12 \pm 0.50)\%$ and ${\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \mu^{+} \nu_{\mu})=(1.71 \pm 0.17 \pm 0.13 \pm 0.50)\%$ with much improved precision compared to the current world average. The first and the second uncertainty are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third one arises due to the uncertainty of the $\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \pi^+$ branching fraction. The corresponding ratio ${\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} e^{+} \nu_{e})/{\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \mu^{+} \nu_{\mu})$ is $1.00 \pm 0.11 \pm 0.09$, which is consistent with the expectation of lepton flavor universality. The first measured asymmetry parameter is found to be consistent with zero, ${\cal A}_{CP} = (\alpha_{\Xi^{-}\pi^{+}} + \alpha_{\bar{\Xi}^{+}\pi^{-}})/(\alpha_{\Xi^{-}\pi^{+}} - \alpha_{\bar{\Xi}^{+}\pi^{-}}) = 0.015 \pm 0.052 \pm 0.017$.
