History

1961-2013: Early History

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

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]
