History

1935-1996: Early History

Middlesex Women played their first recorded match in 1935, against Civil Service Women, and went on to play various one-off games over the following years, most often against surrounding teams such as Surrey Women. They joined the Women's Area Championship in 1980, winning the first two titles, and winning again in 1985.[5]

1997- : Women's County Championship

After the Area Championship ended in 1996, Middlesex Women were one of the founding teams for the Women's County Championship, beginning in 1997, finishing 5th in Division Two in their first season.[6] After being relegated to Division Three the following season, Middlesex then began a steady rise up through the divisions, finally reaching Division One for the first time in 2011. From here, they remained a mid-table side over subsequent seasons, until they were relegated in 2018, the same year in which they won their first major title, the Twenty20 Cup (after being runners-up in 2014 and 2017). In 2019, the final year of the County Championship, Middlesex won Division 2.[7] Since 2015, Middlesex have also competed in the London Cup, in which they play a Twenty20 match against Surrey. Middlesex won the first five competitions, but Surrey won in 2020.[8][9]
