The Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy was an English and Welsh women's cricket domestic competition, named after former England captain Rachael Heyhoe Flint, who died in 2017.[1] The first edition of the tournament took place during August and September 2020, with the Southern Vipers beating the Northern Diamonds in the final.[2] Initially started as a one-off tournament, in February 2021 the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced it would return for the 2021 season as a permanent part of the women's domestic structure in England and Wales, alongside the Charlotte Edwards Cup.[3] The final edition was played in 2024, with the ECB announcing it would be replaced by a new One-Day Cup as part of a restructuring of women's domestic cricket in England and Wales.[4]
