The South Zone women's cricket team is a women's first-class cricket team that represents northern India in the Inter Zone Women's Three Day Competition. It is a composite team of players from six teams from southern India: Andhra, Goa, Hyderabad, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. They were formed in 1974–75 to play in the Rani Jhansi Trophy, which they competed in until 2002–03, when the competition ended. They then competed in the Inter Zone Women's One Day Competition, and now compete in the Inter Zone Three Day Competition, where they finished as runners-up in the most recent tournament, 2017–18.[1]
