The Cumbria Women's cricket team is the women's representative cricket team for the English ceremonial county of Cumbria. They play their home games at various grounds across the county.[1][2] In 2019, they played in Division 3 of the final season of the Women's County Championship, and have since competed in the Women's Twenty20 Cup.[3] Cumbria have links with Lancashire, with some players playing for both sides, and they are partnered with the regional side North West Thunder.[4][5]

History

Cumbria Women's first recorded match was against Scotland Women in 2000, which they lost by 10 wickets.[6] The following year, Cumbria joined the Emerging Counties competition, which acted as a feeder competition for the Women's County Championship, in which they competed for three seasons before joining its successor, the County Challenge Cup.[7] Since then, in the Challenge Cup and when they joined the County Championship proper in 2008, Cumbria Women have remained in the bottom tier of competition.[8] They also joined the Women's Twenty20 Cup for its inaugural year in 2009, and again have been consistently in the lowest division. [9] They achieved one of their best finishes in 2019, finishing 2nd in Division 3C with 3 victories.[10] In 2021, they competed in the North Group of the Twenty20 Cup, finishing bottom with no victories.[11] They again finished bottom of their group in the 2022 and 2023 Twenty20 Cups.[12][13] In 2024, the side finished 7th in their group in the Twenty20 Cup.[14]
