History

Cornwall Women began playing in national competition in 2005, when they joined the County Challenge Cup, the second tier of the Women's County Championship: they finished bottom of their division with one win, against Devon.[5] After the County Championship expanded in 2008, they immediately won promotion to Division 4, where they remained for two seasons before being relegated in 2010.[6] Since then, they have remained in the lowest tier of the County Championship, but did top their division in 2013, 2014 and 2018 before losing play-offs to gain promotion.[7]

In the Women's Twenty20 Cup, Cornwall Women have consistently played in Division 3 of the tournament in recent years, after a successful season in 2014, winning all of their matches to be promoted from Division 4.[8] In 2021, Cornwall competed in the South West Group of the Twenty20 Cup and finished 3rd with 4 wins.[9] They finished second in Group 8 of the Twenty20 Cup in 2022, before losing in the group final to Devon.[10] The side finished bottom of their group in the 2023 Women's Twenty20 Cup.[11]
