North Island Women and South Island Women will compete in these three matches at McLean Park in Napier. The first edition of the tournament was played in 2011 and North Island Women won the three-match series by a 2-1 margin.

The series returned after more than a decade last year to provide extended opportunities to female cricketers. North Island Women won the last edition of the tournament as well.

The purpose of this season is to provide more opportunities to cricketers and close the gap between Domestic and international cricket. The players have been picked on the basis of their performance in the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield and Super Smash tournaments.

A total of five centrally contracted players have been picked in the two sides for this series. Hayley Jensen and Kate Anderson are in the South Island team, while Izzy Gaze, Georgia Plimmer and Molly Penfold are in the North Island’s squad.
