History

Oxfordshire Women played their first recorded match in 1948, against Buckinghamshire Women.[4] They went on to play various one-off matches, often as a combined team with Berkshire, including games against touring Netherlands and Australia sides.[5]

Oxfordshire joined the national county structure in 2007, competing in the County Challenge Cup, finishing bottom of their group in their first season.[6] In the first season of the Women's Twenty20 Cup, in 2009, Oxfordshire won Division Eight with three wins from three games.[7] They went on to become a regular Division Three side, and have finished second in their group in the past three seasons.[8]

Oxfordshire gained promotion from Division Four of the Championship in 2012, and played in Division Three since then.[9] Their most successful seasons came in the final years of the competition: finishing second in 2017 before topping Division 3C in both 2018 and 2019.[10] In 2018, they lost a promotion play-off against Durham by 85 runs,[11] whereas in 2019 there was no promotion as it was the final season of the County Championship.[12]
