History

The side first competed in the Simon Trophy in 1951–52, as Southern Transvaal, competing in the tournament until 1986–87. They then joined the Inter-Provincial Tournament for its inaugural season in 1995–96, as Transvaal, before becoming known as Gauteng in 1997–98.[1] The side became Central Gauteng in 2019–20, and has also been known as Lions, in conjunction with the men's team.[1] They have competed in Provincial One-Day Tournament ever since their first appearance, winning the title once, in 2004–05. That season, they finished second in Group B to qualify for the knockout rounds, subsequently reaching the final where they beat Border by 64 runs.[2][3] They have also finished as runners-up in the tournament four times: in 2012–13, and three times in a row between 2015–15 and 2017–18.[4][5][6][7]

Central Gauteng have also competed in the CSA Women's Provincial T20 Competition since it began in 2012–13. They have finished as runners-up three times, in 2012–13, 2016–17 and 2021–22, every time to Western Province.[8][9][10]
