The 2024 season was North West Thunder's fifth season, in which they competed in the 50 over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the Twenty20 Charlotte Edwards Cup. In the Charlotte Edwards Cup, the side won three of their ten matches, finishing fifth in the group.[1] In the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, the side finished sixth in the group, winning five of their fourteen matches.[2]
The side was captained by Eleanor Threlkeld and coached by Chris Read.[3] They played seven home matches at Old Trafford Cricket Ground, two at Stanley Park, Blackpool and one apiece at Rookwood Cricket Ground, Sale, Trafalgar Road Ground, Southport and Sedbergh School.[4][5]
This was North West Thunder's final season in existence, effectively being replaced by a professionalised Lancashire team under the England and Wales Cricket Board's changes to the structure of women's domestic cricket from 2025 onwards.[6]
