History

Northumberland Women played their first recorded match in 1949, against Durham.[5] They joined the national county structure in 1998, playing in the Women's County Championship Division 3, winning one out of five games.[6] They played in the Championship for a further two years with little success, before withdrawing and only returning in 2005.[7] Since then, Northumberland have consistently played in the bottom tier of the Championship, with their best season coming in 2016, finishing 3rd in Division 4 N&E.[8]

In the Women's Twenty20 Cup, Northumberland have performed similarly, playing in Divisions Three and Four.[9] In 2010, they reached a Divisional Final to play for promotion, but lost to Northamptonshire.[10] Northumberland did not compete in the 2019, but will return in 2021 as North East Warriors, a combined side with Durham Women.[11]
