Women's National Cricket League
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) is the national competition for women's cricket in Australia.
The league competition involves the five member teams playing each other in two limited-over matches, with the side finishing at the top of the table after the preliminary rounds earning the right to host the best-of-three finals series. The winner of the finals series wins the Ruth Preddey Cup.
The first WNCL took place in 1996-97, replacing the Australian Women's Cricket Championships which had taken place in a two week tournament format since 1930-31. The Ruth Preddey Cup was introduced to those championships in 1972-73.
