English women's cricket team in Australia and New Zealand in 1948–49
April 13, 2024
The England women's cricket team toured Australia and New Zealand from January to March 1949, playing three Test matches against Australia, followed by one against New Zealand. The series against Australia was retrospectively recognised as the third series of the Women's Ashes; England entered the series as notional holders of the Ashes, having won the first series in 1934–35, and retained them by drawing the second series, in 1937. Australia claimed their first series victory over England in 1949, winning 1–0, with two drawn matches.
