2019–20_Hobart_Hurricanes_WBBL_season
The 2019–20 Hobart Hurricanes Women's season was the fifth in the team's history. Coached by Salliann Briggs and captained by Corinne Hall, the Hurricanes finished seventh in WBBL|05. They consequently failed to qualify for the finals for the third-consecutive season, but managed to avoid the wooden spoon for the first time since WBBL|02.

Each 2019–20 squad featured 15 active players, with an allowance of up to five marquee signings including a maximum of three from overseas. Australian marquees are players who held a national women's team contract at the beginning of the WBBL|05 signing period.[1]
Personnel changes made ahead of the season included:
- Nicola Carey signed with the Hurricanes, departing the Sydney Thunder and becoming the team's first Australian marquee player since the retirement of Julie Hunter in 2016–17.[2]
- Maisy Gibson and Belinda Vakarewa signed with the Hurricanes, also departing the Sydney Thunder.[3][4]
- Tayla Vlaeminck signed with the Hurricanes, departing the Melbourne Renegades.[5]
- Corinne Hall returned to the Hurricanes captaincy role, taking over from Sasha Moloney.[6]
- English marquee Fran Wilson and South African marquee Chloe Tryon signed with the Hurricanes.[7]
- Barbadian marquee Hayley Matthews signed as a replacement player for English marquee Heather Knight in the event of the Hurricanes qualifying for finals,[8][9] but such a scenario did not eventuate.[10]
- In what was effectively a straight swap with the Perth Scorchers, wicket-keeper Emily Smith joined the Hurricanes in place of the departing Georgia Redmayne.[9]
- On 18 November 2019, Smith was banned for the remainder of WBBL|05 after contravening Cricket Australia's anti-corruption policy with a social media post. Under a special exemption, Emma Manix-Geeves was brought into the Hurricanes squad as a replacement.[11]
The table below lists the Hurricanes players and their key stats (including runs scored, batting strike rate, wickets taken, economy rate, catches and stumpings) for the season.[10][12][13]
