History

1934–1999: Early History

Nottinghamshire Women's first recorded match took place in 1934, which they lost to the Women's Cricket Association.[4] They went on to play various one-off games against nearby teams, such as Warwickshire and Lincolnshire.[5] East Midlands Women, which included players from Nottinghamshire, joined the Women's Area Championship in 1980, and was a founding member of the Women's County Championship.[6] East Midlands won Division One of the Championship in 1999.[7]

2000– : Women's County Championship

Nottinghamshire replaced East Midlands in Division One of the County Championship for the 2000 season, finishing second with four out of five wins.[8] Nottinghamshire remained in Division One for a further four seasons, finishing second again in 2003, but were relegated in 2004.[9] After two seasons in Division 2, Nottinghamshire returned to Division One and remained a consistently mid-table side.[10]

Nottinghamshire also joined the Women's Twenty20 Cup in 2010, placing 2nd in their regional division in their first season.[11] They reached the semi-finals in 2013, but lost to eventual winners Kent.[12] In 2014, however, Nottinghamshire were crowned the Champions of the tournament, first qualifying for Round 2 unbeaten, then finishing above Middlesex and Kent in the final group on Net Run Rate.[13][14]

Since then, Nottinghamshire have had a brief stint in Division Two in both competitions, in 2016 in the Championship and 2017 in the T20 Cup. In both instances, they gained promotion at their first attempt.[15][16] In 2019, they finished 6th in the Championship and 9th in the T20 Cup.[17][18]
