Northern Diamonds were a women's cricket team that represented the traditional areas of the North East and Yorkshire, one of eight regional hubs in English domestic women's cricket. They primarily played their home matches at Headingley and the Riverside.[1][2] They were captained by Hollie Armitage and coached by former England cricketer Danielle Hazell.[3]
The team carried over elements of the WCSL team Yorkshire Diamonds, and were 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]
At the end of the 2024 season, following reforms to the structure of women's domestic cricket, the team was effectively replaced by a professionalised Durham team.[7]
