History

As Natal Women, the side first competed in the Simon Trophy in 1952–53, and played in the tournament until 1971–72. They joined the Inter-Provincial Tournament for its inaugural season in 1995–96, and became known as KwaZulu-Natal in 1997–98. The side became KwaZulu-Natal Coastal in 2019–20, differentiating them from fellow KwaZulu-Natal side KwaZulu-Natal Inland. They have competed in the Provincial One-Day Tournament ever since their first appearance, winning the title once, in 2009–10.[1] That season, they topped the Central Group, winning all eight of their matches, before beating Central Gauteng in the semi-final and then beating Western Province in the final, by four wickets.[2][3] They have also finished as runners-up in the tournament three times, in 2007–08, 2010–11 and 2013–14.[4][5][6] In the 2020–21 season, due to COVID-19 protocols, there was no overall winner, but the side did win one of the two top tier groups, winning three of their four matches.[7]

The side has also competed in the CSA Women's Provincial T20 Competition since its inception in 2012–13. They have finished third in the competition twice, in 2013–14 and 2014–15.[8][9]
