The Women's Caribbean Premier League is a women's Twenty20 cricket competition organised by Cricket West Indies.

The inaugural tournament took place in 2022, running alongside the equivalent men's tournament. Three teams competed in the tournament, each aligned with a men's team: Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders.

History

[edit]

On 14 March 2022, Cricket West Indies announced their intention to hold the first Women's Caribbean Premier League, to run alongside the men's tournament, which began in 2013.[1][2] The announcement followed a T10 women's tournament taking place ahead of the 2019 Caribbean Premier League final, with two teams playing two matches against each other.[3][4]

The men's and women's tournaments took place during the same month-long window, between 30 August and 30 September 2022.[1] The three teams that took part in the tournament were announced in March 2022, each aligning with a men's team: Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders.[2] On 16 June 2022, it was confirmed that the tournament would take place in Saint Kitts.[5] On 22 June 2022, it was announced that a T10 tournament would precede both the men's and women's tournaments, from 24 to 28 August, known as The 6ixty and involving all of the teams competing in the main tournament.[6]

For the second edition, in 2023, the tournament was expanded, with each team now playing each other team twice in the group stage.[7] Barbados Royals won the tournament, beating Guyana Amazon Warriors in the final.[8]
