History
1811–1996: Early History
Surrey Women played their first recorded match in 1811, against Hampshire Women.[1] They went on to play various one-off matches, including regular games against Middlesex, as well as against touring sides such as Australia.[2] Surrey joined the Women's Area Championship in 1980, and continued to play in the competition until it was discontinued, in 1996.[3]
1997–2024: Women's County Championship
Surrey Women joined the Women's County Championship in 1997, its inaugural season, finishing 3rd in Division One.[4] After finishing 2nd in 1998, they battled relegation in subsequent seasons, before suffering two successive relegations in 2004 and 2005.[5] Surrey bounced back with a rapid climb back up through the Divisions, winning Division 3 in 2006 and Division 2 in 2008.[6][7] In 2009, they were again relegated from Division 1, but did find success in the first season of the Women's Twenty20 Cup, where they were crowned champions of Division 1.[8] Surrey were unable to find further success in the Twenty20 Cup however, and soon became a regular lower-table Division 1 side in both competitions.[9]
Since 2015, Surrey have also competed in the London Cup, in which they play a Twenty20 match against Middlesex. After losing the first five competitions, Surrey finally triumphed in 2020, winning the match by 4 wickets.[10][11] The side also won the inaugural Women's London Championship in 2020.[12] In 2021, they played in the South East Group of the Twenty20 Cup, finishing 2nd with 4 wins, as well as losing the London Cup to Middlesex by 8 wickets and finishing second to Kent in the London Championship.[13][14][15] They finished bottom of their group in the 2022 Women's Twenty20 Cup, but regained their title in the Women's London Championship.[16][17] They finished third in their group in the 2023 Women's Twenty20 Cup.[18] In 2024, the side finished 6th in their group in the Twenty20 Cup and 2nd in their group in the new ECB Women's County One-Day tournament.[19][20]
2024–Present: Reformation of Surrey Women
In 2024, with reforms to the structure of domestic cricket in England, the regional side South East Stars was replaced with a professionalised Surrey team.
