The 2014 Women's Twenty20 Cup, known for sponsorship reasons as the 2014 NatWest Women's Twenty20 Cup, was the 6th cricket Women's Twenty20 Cup tournament. It took place in July and August, with 40 teams taking part: 36 county teams, alongside Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Netherlands. Nottinghamshire Women won the Twenty20 Cup, achieving their first title. The tournament ran alongside the 50-over 2014 Women's County Championship.[1]

Competition format[edit]

Teams played matches within a series of divisions, across two rounds of groupings. Matches were played using a Twenty20 format.

The championship worked on a points system with positions within the divisions being based on the total points. Points were awarded as follows:[2]

Win: 4 points.
Tie: 2 points.
Loss: 0 points.
Abandoned/Cancelled: 1 point.

Teams[edit]

The 2014 Women's Twenty20 Cup was divided into four divisions: Divisions One, Two and Three with nine teams each and Division Four with 13 teams. Each Division was divided into regional groups of 3 teams apiece, with each team playing each other twice (apart from Division 4B, which had four teams, and each team played each other once).

Based on placings in the first round, teams then progressed to tiered divisions in round two (or tiered matches, in Division Four): for example, the winner of Group 1A progressed to Round 2 Group 1A, with the runners-up being placed in Round 2 Group 1B and third place moving to Round 2 Group 1C. The winners of Round 2 Group 1A were crowned champions, and placings further down determined promotion and relegation. The teams were initially divided into groups as follows:

Division 1A Berkshire Middlesex Sussex
Division 1B Essex Kent Surrey
Division 1C Nottinghamshire Warwickshire Yorkshire
Division 2A Cheshire Staffordshire Worcestershire
Division 2B Durham Ireland Lancashire
Division 2C Devon Somerset Wales
Division 3A Gloucestershire Hampshire Oxfordshire
Division 3B Hertfordshire Netherlands Northamptonshire
Division 3C Derbyshire Leicestershire and Rutland Scotland
Division 4A Buckinghamshire Shropshire Suffolk
Division 4B Bedfordshire Cambridgeshire Huntingdonshire Norfolk
Division 4C Cumbria Lincolnshire Northumberland
Division 4D Cornwall Dorset Wiltshire
