The Women’s Super50 Cup is the domestic One Day International competition of West Indies. The tournament is also known as West Indies Cricket Board Women’s Super50 Cup or the Women’s Cricket Federation Championships.
It is played between six teams representing different Caribbean islands. These teams are Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana, Leeward Islands, Windward Islands, and Trinidad and Tobago. Teams that participated formerly are Grenada, Dominica, North America, St. Lucia, North Windward Islands, South Windward Islands, and St. Vincent and Grenadines. The venue for each edition of the tournament changes every year. All matches of that edition take place in the chosen venue.
The tournament began in 1975 and was played as a two-day competition. Starting in 1996, the tournament has been played in the One Day International format. The history of the tournament between 2002 to 2009 has been hazy due to poor maintenance of records. However, during this period the format of the tournament was such that some editions features both a league stage and a knockout stage.
Currently, the tournament is played in a single round-robin format. This means that each team plays the other once. A team gets four points for a win, zero points for a loss, and two points for no result. At the end of the round robin stage, the team who has the most points is declared the champion.
Trinidad and Tobago is the most successful side having won 13 titles. Since 2015, Barbados have been the most consistent side. They have reached seven consecutive finals (2015 to 2023) and have won the title each time except 2016 and 2018.
