History
1936-2008: Early History
The first recorded match involving Buckinghamshire Women took place in 1936, in which they beat Berkshire Women by 66 runs.[4] Over the following years, Buckinghamshire played various one-off matches against nearby sides, such as Surrey and Middlesex.[5]
2009- : Women's County Championship
Buckinghamshire Women joined the Women's Twenty20 Cup for its inaugural season in 2009, in which they finished 3rd in Division Eight, with one win.[6] In 2010, Buckinghamshire Women joined the Women's County Championship, finishing bottom of Division 5 South & West. They fared better in the Twenty20 Cup, however, finishing second in their division before losing the Division Final to Wiltshire; in 2011 and 2012 Women's Twenty20 Cup2012, Buckinghamshire again lost Division Finals, after topping the group in both years.[7] In subsequent years, Buckinghamshire have been one of the poorer performers across the two competitions, although they did earn promotion in the Twenty20 Cup in 2014 before being relegated the following season. In 2019, the final season before a restructuring of women's county cricket, Buckinghamshire achieved one of their best seasons, finishing second in their division in both the County Championship and the Twenty20 Cup.[8]
