USA Cricket’s (USAC) 2024 Women’s Intra-regional competition – the country-wide women’s domestic cricket season that spanned six weeks and 90 matches – has concluded.

While the USA men’s national team were participating in the historic ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, women and girls across the country were competing on the domestic circuit. The competition served as a platform for players to exhibit their skills in the T20 and 40-over formats before advancing to the national championships for the seniors, under 19 and under 15 categories this summer.

Ms. Celeste du Toit, the Women’s Coordinator at USAC, reflected on the recent competition outcome: “The participation of 15 teams from 4 regions provided valuable insights into the talent pool within the country and the development pipeline. The noticeable growth and increased engagement in women’s cricket in recent years have been a positive sign. USAC is committed to organizing similar tournaments in the future to continuously attract new talent into the system.”

Players’ performances from the Intra-regional competition are under evaluation to form squads for the respective national championships.

The U15 National Championship is slated to field an East and West Conference team while the U19 National Championship will feature four (4) teams for the very first time, given the growth in the pipeline of domestic players. In previous years, the U19 National Championship fielded only two (2) teams. The senior Women’s National Championship will once again feature four (4) regional teams. Details about the national championships to be announced soon.

USA Cricket thanks all players, coaches, managers, Volunteer Team Coordinators (VTCs) administrators, parents and other volunteers for their unwavering support and commitment to the Intraregionals and the development of women’s cricket.
