History

1937–2006: Early History

Gloucestershire Women played their first recorded match in 1935, against Hampshire. [4] Two years later, they drew a match against Australia as part of their tour of England. [5] Since then, they played various one-off matches against other county sides and Second XIs. [6]

2007– : Women's County Championship

In 2007, Gloucestershire Women joined the County Challenge Cup, the feeder tier of the Women's County Championship, finishing 3rd in their group. [7] The following season, they joined the full Championship, in Division Five South & West, again finishing third. [8] Gloucestershire were promoted to Division Three in 2012, and except a brief spell in Division Four in 2015, have played there ever since. [9] In 2017 they just missed out on promotion to Division Two, losing a play-off match to Essex by 6 wickets, after topping Division 3B. [10] Meanwhile, in the Women's Twenty20 Cup, Gloucestershire gained two early promotions in the Midlands & North region in 2010 and 2011. [11] [12] After the competition took on a nationwide format in 2015, Gloucestershire have mainly played in Division Three, with brief spells in both Divisions Four and Two. [13] In 2021, they competed in the South West Group of the Twenty20 Cup, and won the group, going unbeaten with 4 wins and 4 matches abandoned due to rain. [14] Gloucestershire batter Chloe Skelton was the fifth-highest run-scorer across the competition, with 201 runs. [15] In 2022, they finished bottom of Group 3 of the Twenty20 Cup. [16] In the 2023 Women's Twenty20 Cup, the side won their group, finishing top of the initial group stage and beating Shropshire in the final. [17] In 2024, the side finished 4th in their group in the Twenty20 Cup and 2nd in their group in the new ECB Women's County One-Day tournament. [18] [19]
