It is a composite team of players from five teams from northern India: Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab. They were formed in 1974–75 to play in the Rani Jhansi Trophy, which they competed in until 2002–03, when the competition ended. They then competed in the Inter Zone Women's One Day Competition, which they won once, in 2011–12, and now compete in the Inter Zone Three Day Competition, where they are the current holders, winning the 2017–18 tournament.[1]

History

North Zone Women first played in the Rani Jhansi Trophy in the 1974–75 season, a List A competition. They competed in the tournament until it was dissolved after the 2002–03 season, but full results for the trophy are not recorded.[2]

In 2007, North Zone began playing in the Inter Zone Women's One Day Competition, which they competed in between the 2006–07 season until it ended after the 2013–14 season.[2] The side won the title once, in 2011–12, and were the only side to break Central Zone's winning streak, who won the other 7 titles. In 2011–12, North Zone topped the table with four wins from their four matches.[3]

In the 2014–15 season, the zonal teams began competing in a two-day competition, the Inter Zone Women's Two Day Competition. The side finished 3rd in the first season before finishing bottom the following season, when the tournament became a three-day competition.[4][5] They again finished third in 2016–17, but did win their first match in the tournament, against South Zone.[6][7] In 2017–18, North Zone won their first three-day title, breaking Central Zone's three season winning streak and topping the table with two wins from their four matches.[8]
