History

Worcestershire Women played their first recorded match in 1949, against Cheshire, which they won by 75 runs. [5] They joined the Women's County Championship in 2004, as part of the County Challenge Cup, and placed 2nd in their group in their first season. [6]

Worcestershire gained promotion from Division Three in 2009, topping the league with 7 wins from 10 games. [7] They were relegated a season later, but immediately regained their place in Division 2, being promoted in 2011. [8] Worcestershire have since retained their position in Division 2, apart from a brief stint in Division 3E in 2018. [9]

They also joined the Women's Twenty20 Cup in 2009 for its inaugural season. When the competition was regionalised, Worcestershire gained promotion to Division Midlands & North 1 in 2011, beating Northamptonshire in the Division Final by 45 runs. [10] [11] Since the tournament's national structure was implemented, Worcestershire have been as low as Division 3 and as high as Division 1. [12] Their promotion to Division 1 in 2017 was a high-point, with Worcestershire bowler Clare Boycott ending the season as the leading wicket-taker in the division. [13] In 2021, they competed in the West Midlands Group of the Twenty20 Cup, finishing 3rd in the group with 2 victories. [14] They won their group in the 2022 Women's Twenty20 Cup, topping the initial group stage before emerging victorious on the group Finals Day. [15] Worcestershire batter Georgina Macey was the second-highest run-scorer across the whole competition, with 295 runs. [16] They also competed in the West Midlands Regional Cup in 2022, winning the initial group stage but losing in the final to Wales. [17] They won the West Midlands Regional Cup in 2023, beating Staffordshire in the final. [18]
