Logo used for the Northern Superchargers (2019–2025)
By March 2019, it was known that the Headingley-based franchise would represent the counties of Yorkshire and Durham.[2]
In June 2019, reports suggested the England and Wales Cricket Board had applied to trademark "Leeds Sunrisers". By August, the name was confirmed as Northern Superchargers, after fears were expressed of alienating fans from the rest of Yorkshire and Durham.[3]
The same month, the side announced that former England Women player Danielle Hazell had been appointed coach of the women's team, while former Australian batsman Darren Lehmann would be the men's team's first coach.[4]
In December 2024, Lisa Keightley was named as the new coach of the women's team, replacing Hazell whose four-year contract had ended.[6][7]
As part of the 2025 Hundred sale, the ECB gave Yorkshire County Cricket Club a 51% stake in the franchise with the remaining 49% sold in an auction process. Yorkshire County Cricket Club opted to sell their stake, with Sun TV Network Limited acquiring 100% of the franchise. They took operational control on 1 October 2025.[8][9] In early November, the franchise's name was changed to Sunrisers Leeds.[10][11]
