History

Oxfordshire Women played their first recorded match in 1948, against Buckinghamshire Women. [4] They went on to play various one-off matches, often as a combined team with Berkshire, including games against touring Netherlands and Australia sides. [5]

Oxfordshire joined the national county structure in 2007, competing in the County Challenge Cup, finishing bottom of their group in their first season. [6] In the first season of the Women's Twenty20 Cup, in 2009, Oxfordshire won Division Eight with three wins from three games. [7] They went on to become a regular Division Three side, and finished second in their group in every season between 2017 and 2019. [8] In 2021, they competed in the South West Group of the Twenty20 Cup, and finished 5th with 2 victories. [9] They finished second in their group of the 2022 Women's Twenty20 Cup. [10] Oxfordshire bowler Chloe Westbury was the joint-second leading wicket-taker in the competition, with 13 wickets. [11]

Oxfordshire gained promotion from Division Four of the Championship in 2012, and played in Division Three since then. [12] Their most successful seasons came in the final years of the competition: finishing second in 2017 before topping Division 3C in both 2018 and 2019. [13] In 2018, they lost a promotion play-off against Durham by 85 runs, [14] whereas in 2019 there was no promotion as it was the final season of the County Championship. [15]

In 2022, Oxfordshire joined the South Central Counties Cup, finishing second out of six teams in the inaugural edition. [16]
