The Northumberland Women's cricket team is the women's representative cricket team for the English historic county of Northumberland. They played their home games at Stocksfield Cricket Club Ground, Stocksfield.[1] They competed in the Women's County Championship from 1998 to 2019 and in the Women's Twenty20 Cup from 2009 to 2018.[2] In 2020, it was announced that Northumberland was merging its team with Durham, becoming North East Warriors.[3] They are partnered with the regional side Northern Diamonds.[4]

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 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 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 tournament, but will return in 2021 as North East Warriors, a combined side with Durham.[11]
