The Cambridgeshire Women's cricket team is the women's representative cricket team for the English historic county of Cambridgeshire. They play their home games across the county, and are captained by Lara Neild.[1] In the Women's County Championship, Cambridgeshire played as a combined team with Huntingdonshire, as Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire Women, but since 2014 they have played individually in the Women's Twenty20 Cup, in which they have consistently competed in the lowest tier.[2] They are partnered with the regional side Sunrisers.[3]

## History

[edit]

### 1961-2013: Early History

[edit]

Cambridgeshire Women played their first recorded game in 1961, against Middlesex Women Second XI.[4] After this, they played in various one-off games and regional tournaments, before they joined the Women's County Championship in 2010 as Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire Women, under which they played until 2019, the final season of the tournament.[5]

### 2014- : Women's Twenty20 Cup

[edit]

From the inaugural season of the Women's Twenty20 Cup in 2009 until 2013, Cambridgeshire also competed as Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire. However, in 2014, the two counties split and competed separately. Cambridgeshire finished 8th in Division Four, winning two games, including a victory over Huntingdonshire.[6] After this, Cambridgeshire have always played in the bottom tier of the Twenty20 Cup, achieving their most successful season in 2019, with three wins.[7] In 2021, they competed in the East Group of the Twenty20 Cup, finishing 4th with 4 victories.[8] They also joined the East of England Championship in 2021, and finished 4th out of 6 teams in their first season.[9] The side withdrew from the East of England Championship in 2022, as well as finishing 3rd in their Twenty20 Cup group.[10][11] In the 2023 Women's Twenty20 Cup, the side finished top of their group, but the group finals day was abandoned due to rain.[12] In 2024, the side finished 7th in their group in the Twenty20 Cup and 6th in their group in the new ECB Women's County One-Day tournament.[13][14]
