History

1937-2006: Early History

Gloucestershire Women played their first recorded match in 1935, against Hampshire.[4] Two years later, they drew a match against Australia as part of their tour of England.[5] Since then, they played various one-off matches against other county sides and Second XIs.[6]

2007- : Women's County Championship

In 2007, Gloucestershire Women joined the County Challenge Cup, the feeder tier of the Women's County Championship, finishing 3rd in their group.[7] The following season, they joined the full Championship, in Division Five South & West, again finishing third.[8] Gloucestershire were promoted to Division Three in 2012, and except a brief spell in Division Four in 2015, have played there ever since.[9] In 2017 they just missed out on promotion to Division Two, losing a play-off match to Essex by 6 wickets, after topping Division 3B.[10] Meanwhile, in the Women's Twenty20 Cup, Gloucestershire gained two early promotions in the Midlands & North region in 2010 and 2011.[11][12] After the competition took on a nationwide format in 2015, Gloucestershire have mainly played in Division Three, with brief spells in both Divisions Four and Two.[13]
