South Zone Women first played in the Rani Jhansi Trophy in the 1974–75 season, a List A competition. They competed in the tournament until it was dissolved after the 2002–03 season, but full results for the trophy are not recorded.[2]

In 2007, South Zone began playing in the Inter Zone Women's One Day Competition, which they competed in between the 2006–07 season until it ended after the 2013–14 season.[2] Their best finishes in the tournament came in 2006–07 and 2012–13, when they finished as runners-up.[3][4]

In the 2014–15 season, the zonal teams began competing in a two-day competition, the Inter Zone Women's Two Day Competition. In the first season, South Zone finished 4th out of the 5 teams with 6 points.[5] The following season, 2015–16, the tournament became a three-day competition and South Zone finished 3rd, this time with 8 points.[6] In 2016–17, the side finished bottom of the league, losing three of their four matches.[7] They bounced back the following season however, taking their best finish in the competition as they came second, with two wins from their four matches.[8]

In 2022–23, zonal cricket in India returned, in the form of the Women's Senior Inter Zonal T20.[9] They finished third out of sixth teams in the first edition of the tournament.[10] In February 2023, the 2022–23 Women's Senior Inter Zonal One Day tournament took place, in which they finished fourth in the group stage.[11]
