Charlotte Edwards guided Kent to title success in the 2006 and 2007 LV Women's County Championship

There are many independent women’s clubs throughout England and Wales, and a growing number of men's clubs with women's sections.

A strong league structure leads up to the Premier League (North and South) with an annual system of promotion and relegation; while there is also the National Knock-Out Cup.

The major county competition is the LV Women's County Championship, while Super Fours bridges the gap for the elite players between domestic and international competition.

For more details on any aspect of the domestic women's game, please contact the ECB's Cricket Operations Executive - Women's Cricket, Lisa Drummond on 020 7432 1273 or at lisa.drummond@ecb.co.uk.
