Northern Diamonds are a women's cricket team that represent the traditional areas of the North East and Yorkshire, one of eight regional hubs in English domestic women's cricket. They play their home matches at Headingley, the Riverside, Roseworth Terrace, North Marine Road and Clifton Park Ground.[1][2] They are captained by Hollie Armitage and coached by former England cricketer Danielle Hazell.[3]

The team carries over elements of the WCSL team Yorkshire Diamonds, and are partnered with Yorkshire and North East Warriors.[4] The Diamonds reached the final of the first three tournaments that they competed in, but lost each time.[5] They won their first title in 2022, winning the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy.[6]
