The English summer of 2025 is set to sizzle with the return of The Women’s Hundred for its much-anticipated 5th edition, running from August 5th to 31st. In just a few short years, the competition has redefined the English women’s domestic cricket landscape, delivering electrifying contests, spotlighting rising stars, and heralding some of the most memorable finishes the women’s game has ever witnessed.
Eight formidable sides, Birmingham Phoenix, London Spirit, Manchester Originals, Northern Superchargers, Oval Invincibles, Southern Brave, Trent Rockets, and Welsh Fire, will once again go head-to-head, each carrying its own legacy, ambitions, and a roster brimming with homegrown talent and international flair.
As the tournament steps into its milestone year, the stakes are higher than ever. The 2024 season was one for the ages, crowned by London Spirit’s maiden triumph at Lord’s, with fresh faces and experienced stalwarts alike seizing their moments in the sun. The stories shaping this year’s edition are equally compelling: injuries and captaincy changes, redeveloped squads, and the hunger from sides that lingered in the mid-table last year to climb higher.
From stars like Ellyse Perry and Charlie Dean leading new-look units to the likes of seasoned campaigners Tammy Beaumont and Beth Mooney adding depth and dynamism, The Hundred 2025 promises another riveting chapter in the evolution of women’s franchise cricket.
Format: How The Women’s Hundred 2025 will Unfold?
Staying true to its innovative cricketing format, this season’s Women’s Hundred continues with eight teams. Each side plays a total of eight league matches, four at home and four away, facing every other team once and enjoying a bonus clash against their closest regional rivals. This double-header approach not only kindles local rivalries but keeps fans engaged right through the well-packed calendar.
The drama intensifies after the league stage. Only the top three teams advance to the knockouts in this high-stakes format. The second- and third-placed teams square off in the Eliminator at The Oval, fighting for a place in the grand finale on 31st August 2025 (Sunday). Whoever prevails then meets the top-ranked league side at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground for the ultimate showdown, where glory, silverware, and a place in Hundred folklore await.
Across close to a month of non-stop action, each ball will matter, every victory hard-earned, every defeat a lesson, and every team desperate to imprint its mark on the fastest-growing chapter of women’s cricket in England. Let’s dive into all you need to know about this eagerly awaited showcase, team by team.
