History edit

1934–1935: Early history edit

Western Australia's first recorded match was a draw against England in a two-day tourist match from 24 to 26 November 1934.[1]

1936–1996: Australian Women's Cricket Championships edit

Western Australia joined the Australian Women's Cricket Championships for the 1936–37 tournament.[2] They continued to play in the Championships until its final season in 1995–96.[3][4] Western Australia won the title on one occasion, in 1986–87.[5]

1996–present: Women's National Cricket League and Twenty20 Cup edit

Western Australia joined the newly-established WNCL in 1996–97.[6] They have won the title once, in 2019–20.[7] Their best finish in the Australian Women's Twenty20 Cup was runners-up in 2012–13, when they lost the final to New South Wales by 5 wickets.[8]

On 29 July 2019, the Western Australian Cricket Association announced that the name of the team would change from Western Fury to simply Western Australia Women, alongside a similar change to the men's team which dropped its "Warriors" nickname.[9]

Grounds edit

Western Australia have used a number of grounds over the years. Their first recorded home match against England in 1934 was played at the WACA Ground, Perth. Historically they have played the vast majority of their home matches at various grounds in Perth. Outside Perth, they have played sporadic matches in other locations including Geraldton, Crawley, Fremantle and Baldivis.[10][11][12][13][14]

After the inception of the WNCL in 1996, Western Australia began playing regular matches at the WACA Ground. They have also continued to use other grounds, most regularly Murdoch University West Oval in Perth. Their two 2019–20 WNCL home games and their four 2020–21 WNCL home games were played at the WACA Ground.[12][13] They did not play any home matches in the 2021–22 WNCL due to COVID-19 restrictions.[15] In the 2022–23 WNCL, they returned to playing all of their home matches at the WACA Ground.[12]
