The 2024 season saw Southern Vipers compete in the 50 over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the Twenty20 Charlotte Edwards Cup. The side reached the semi-final stage in both competitions: in the Charlotte Edwards Cup, the side finished third in the group, winning six of their ten matches, before losing to South East Stars in the semi-final, whilst in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy the side again finished third in the group, winning seven of their fourteen matches, before again losing to South East Stars in the semi-final.[1][2]

The side was captained by Georgia Adams and coached by Charlotte Edwards.[3] They played five home matches at the Rose Bowl, two apiece at the County Ground, Hove, Arundel Castle Cricket Ground and Sir Paul Getty's Ground and one at Falkland Cricket Club.[4][5]

This was Southern Vipers' final season in existence, effectively being replaced by a professionalised Hampshire team under the England and Wales Cricket Board's changes to the structure of women's domestic cricket from 2025 onwards.[6]
