The Women's Caribbean Premier League is a women's Twenty20 cricket competition organised by Cricket West Indies. The inaugural tournament took place in 2022, running alongside the equivalent men's tournament.

Three teams competed in the tournament: Barbados Tridents, Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders, each aligned with a men's team of the same name. A fourth team, Jamaica Empress will participate in the 2026 edition.

History

On 14 March 2022, Cricket West Indies announced their intention to hold the first Women's Caribbean Premier League, to run alongside the men's tournament, which began in 2013.[1][2] The announcement followed a T10 women's tournament taking place ahead of the 2019 Caribbean Premier League final, with two teams playing two matches against each other.[3][4]

The men's and women's tournaments took place during the same month-long window, between 30 August and 30 September 2022.[1] The three teams that took part in the tournament were announced in March 2022, each aligning with a men's team: Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders.[2] On 16 June 2022, it was confirmed that the tournament would take place in Saint Kitts.[5] On 22 June 2022, it was announced that a T10 tournament would precede both the men's and women's tournaments, from 24 to 28 August, known as The 6ixty and involving all of the teams competing in the main tournament.[6]

For the second edition, in 2023, the tournament was expanded, with each team now playing every other team twice in the group stage.[7] Barbados Royals won the tournament, beating Guyana Amazon Warriors in the final.[8]

In the 2026 edition, the tournament was expanded to four teams (with the inclusion of Jamaica Empress and the renaming of Barbados Royals to Barbados Tridents), with each team now playing every other team once in the group stage followed by a playoff and a final.
