The Charlotte Edwards Cup, initially named the Women's Regional T20, was an English women's cricket Twenty20 domestic competition organised by the England and Wales Cricket Board. The first edition of the tournament took place in 2021. The tournament was named after England's former captain and most capped player, Charlotte Edwards.[1]
The tournament featured eight teams, representing regional hubs across England and Wales. The tournament was a successor to the Women's Cricket Super League, which ended in 2019. Whilst a regional T20 tournament was planned for 2020, it was cancelled in favour of the 50-over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy in the shortened 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament then ran alongside the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and The Hundred.[2][3]
