History

Cumbria Women's first recorded match was against Scotland Women in 2000, which they lost by 10 wickets.[6] The following year, Cumbria joined the Emerging Counties competition, which acted as a feeder competition for the Women's County Championship, in which they competed for three seasons before joining its successor, the County Challenge Cup.[7] Since then, in the Challenge Cup and when they joined the County Championship proper in 2008, Cumbria Women have remained in the bottom tier of competition.[8] They also joined the Women's Twenty20 Cup for its inaugural year in 2009, and again have been consistently in the lowest division. [9] They achieved one of their best finishes in 2019, finishing 2nd in Division 3C with 3 victories.[10] In 2021, they competed in the North Group of the Twenty20 Cup, finishing bottom with no victories.[11] They again finished bottom of their group in the 2022 and 2023 Twenty20 Cups.[12][13]
