The CSA Women Pro50 Series,[1] officially known as the Hollywoodbets Pro50 for sponsorship reasons, is the main 50-over women's cricket competition in South Africa. It is run by the Cricket South Africa (CSA), and it serves as the successor to the CSA Women's One-Day Cup.[2][3]
The CSA Women Pro50 Series started in the 2024–25 season as South Africa’s official domestic women's 50-over cricket competition. Organized by Cricket South Africa, it replaced earlier CSA Women's One-Day Cup to provide a more professional and competitive structure. The series aims to develop local talent and prepare players for international cricket by offering regular high-level matches across six provincial teams.
