History

1811-1996: Early History

Hampshire Women played their first recorded match in 1811, against Surrey Women.[5] They then went on to play various one-off matches against neighbouring counties, sometimes as a combined team with Dorset.[6] They played against a touring Australia side in 1937 and 1957.[7][8]

1997- : Women's County Championship

Hampshire Women joined the Women's County Championship for its inaugural season in 1997, finishing 3rd in Division 3.[9] Over the following seasons, Hampshire remained in the lower divisions of the Championship: they were promoted to Division Two in 2002, but only remained there for two seasons, and reached as low as Division Four in 2008 and 2011.[10] However, 2015 saw a sharp change in Hampshire's fortunes as they won Division 3 with six wins out of eight games,[11] and then two seasons later were promoted to Division 1, topping Division Two in 2017.[12] Hampshire then won Division One at their first attempt, in 2018, winning six of their seven matches.[13] Hampshire's remarkable rise was helped by England captain Charlotte Edwards, who played for the club in 2017 and 2018, and overseas player Suzie Bates, who was the Division's leading run-scorer in their Championship-winning season.[14]

Hampshire Women also had a similar rise in the Women's Twenty20 Cup. After playing in the lower regional divisions in the early years of the tournament, they gained promotion from Division 3 in 2015[15] and from Division 2 in 2018, topping the league with 7 wins from 8 games.[16] Hampshire bowler Providence Cowdrill was the leading wicket-taker in the division, with 15 wickets.[17] In 2019, their first season in Division 1, they finished 4th with 4 wins.[18]
