There have been multiple women’s domestic competitions being played out in England over the years. There was the Women’s T20 County tournament as well, along with List A competitions being played among different regional sides. Recently launched was the Women’s T20 Blast also known as the Women’s Vitality Blast for sponsorship reasons, with the first edition announced for 2025.
