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 four times, in 2007–08, 2010–11, 2013–14 and 2022–23. [4] [5] [6] [7] 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. [8]

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. [9] [10]

In August 2023, it was announced that a new professional domestic system would be implemented for women's cricket in South Africa. As one of the six teams in the top division of the two domestic competitions, KwaZulu-Natal Coastal would be allowed eleven professional players from the 2023–24 season onwards. [11] [12]
