History

The tournament began in 2006–07, with eight teams competing in 50 over matches in two groups, followed by a semi-final and final. Results of this tournament are not recorded.[1] The following season, 2008–09, saw a change in the teams competing, with six teams representing six administrative divisions of Bangladesh competing in a round-robin group. Khulna Division won the tournament, winning all five of their matches.[2] This format was retained for the following season, 2009–10, with Khulna Division again winning all five of their matches to win the tournament.[3]

In 2010–11, the tournament was played as a Twenty20 competition, with two rounds of group stages. Khulna Division once again won the tournament, beating Rajshahi Division in the final.[4] The tournament reverted to a 50 over competition for following seasons, with Khulna Division again winning in 2011–12 before Rangpur Division, in their first season competing in the Women's National Cricket League, won the title in 2012–13.[5][6] 2015 was again a Twenty20 competition, although results are unrecorded.[7] The 2017 season saw the addition of an eighth team, Mymensingh Division, and saw Khulna Division claim their fifth title as the tournament was again competed as a 50 over competition.[8] The tournament returned to being a Twenty20 format in 2017–18, and saw Sylhet Division claim their first title.[9] 2018–19 was the final edition of the competition, with a 50 over format, although results are unrecorded.[10]

The tournament was replaced in 2021–22 with the Women's Zonal One-Day Competition, with four zonal teams competing in 50 over matches.[11]
