History

Women's County Championship

Derbyshire Women joined the Women's County Championship for its inaugural season in 1997, in which they won Division 3 and were promoted.[5] They played in Division 2 for two seasons, before being relegated in 1999; however, they bounced straight back and were promoted the following season, winning five out of five games.[6] After being relegated again in 2002, Derbyshire ended up in the County Challenge Cup in 2004, the competition a tier below the County Championship. Derbyshire performed well here, just missing out on promotion in 2005 and 2006 before finally achieving it in 2007.[7] Over the next 10 years, Derbyshire remained in the lowest division of the County Championship, before being promoted in 2016 to Division Two, finishing just three points ahead of Durham.[8] They were relegated two seasons later, in 2018, before finishing 2nd in Division 3A in the final season of the Championship, 2019.[9]

Women's Twenty20 Cup

Derbyshire also played in the inaugural season of the Women's Twenty20 Cup, 2009, finishing bottom of Division 3.[10] Similarly to their Championship performance, Derbyshire consistently bounced between the divisions, for example being promoted in 2014, 2016 and 2018 and being relegated in 2015 and 2017.[11]
