The Surrey Women's cricket team is the women's representative cricket team for the English historic county of Surrey, and was a replacement for regional team South East Stars. They play their home games at various grounds across the county, including The Oval, as well as County Cricket Ground, Beckenham and Woodbridge Road, Guildford. They are captained by Bryony Smith and coached by Johann Myburgh. They currently play in the Women's One-Day Cup and the Women's T20 Blast
History 1811–1996: Early History Surrey Women played their first recorded match in 1811, against Hampshire Women. They went on to play various one-off matches, including regular games against Middlesex, as well as against touring sides such as Australia. Surrey joined the Women's Area Championship in 1980, and continued to play in the competition until it was discontinued, in 1996.
1997–2024: Women's County Championship Surrey Women joined the Women's County Championship in 1997, its inaugural season, finishing 3rd in Division One. After finishing 2nd in 1998, they battled relegation in subsequent seasons, before suffering two successive relegations in 2004 and 2005. Surrey bounced back with a rapid climb back up through the Divisions, winning Division 3 in 2006 and Division 2 in 2008. In 2009, they were again relegated from Division 1, but did find success in the first season of the Women's Twenty20 Cup, where they were crowned champions of Division 1. Surrey were unable to find further success in the Twenty20 Cup however, and soon became a regular lower-table Division 1 side in both competitions.
Since 2015, Surrey have also competed in the London Cup, in which they play a Twenty20 match against Middlesex. After losing the first five competitions, Surrey finally triumphed in 2020, winning the match by 4 wickets. The side also won the inaugural Women's London Championship in 2020. In 2021, they played in the South East Group of the Twenty20 Cup, finishing 2nd with 4 wins, as well as losing the London Cup to Middlesex by 8 wickets and finishing second to Kent in the London Championship. They finished bottom of their group in the 2022 Women's Twenty20 Cup, but regained their title in the Women's London Championship. They finished third in their group in the 2023 Women's Twenty20 Cup. In 2024, the side finished 6th in their group in the Twenty20 Cup and 2nd in their group in the new ECB Women's County One-Day tournament.
2024–Present: Reformation of Surrey Women In 2024, with reforms to the structure of domestic cricket in England, the regional side South East Stars was replaced with a professionalised Surrey team.
