Derbyshire Women joined the Women's County Championship for its inaugural season in 1997, in which they won Division 3 and were promoted. [5] They played in Division 2 for two seasons, before being relegated in 1999; however, they bounced straight back and were promoted the following season, winning five out of five games. [6] After being relegated again in 2002, Derbyshire ended up in the County Challenge Cup in 2004, the competition a tier below the County Championship. Derbyshire performed well here, just missing out on promotion in 2005 and 2006 before finally achieving it in 2007. [7] Over the next 10 years, Derbyshire remained in the lowest division of the County Championship, before being promoted in 2016 to Division Two, finishing just three points ahead of Durham. [8] They were relegated two seasons later, in 2018, before finishing 2nd in Division 3A in the final season of the Championship, 2019. [9]
Derbyshire also played in the inaugural season of the Women's Twenty20 Cup, 2009, finishing bottom of Division 3. [10] Similarly to their Championship performance, Derbyshire consistently bounced between the divisions, for example being promoted in 2014, 2016 and 2018 and being relegated in 2015 and 2017. [11] In 2021, they competed in the East Midlands Group of the Twenty20 Cup, and finished 4th with 2 victories. [12] In 2022, they finished 3rd in Group 1 of the Twenty20 Cup. [13] In the 2023 Women's Twenty20 Cup, the side reached the group semi-final, where they lost to Scotland. [14] In 2024, the side won the Twenty20 Cup, topping their group before winning all three matches at the National Finals. [15]
