The Queensland Women cricket team, also known as the Konica Minolta Queensland Fire, is the women's representative cricket team for the Australian State of Queensland. They play most of their home games at Allan Border Field, Brisbane and they also use South Brisbane District Cricket Club's Fehlberg Oval and Kerrydale Oval, Robina. They compete in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL), the premier 50-over women's cricket tournament in Australia. They previously played in the now-defunct Australian Women's Twenty20 Cup and Australian Women's Cricket Championships.

History

1931–1996: Australian Women's Cricket Championships

Queensland's first recorded match was a one-day, two-innings affair against New South Wales in the Australian Women's Cricket Championships on 23 March 1931, which they lost by an innings and 51 runs.[1] They continued to play in the Championships until its final season in 1995–96.[2][3] Records for the tournament are patchy and the number of titles that Queensland won is unclear.

1996–present: Women's National Cricket League and Twenty20 Cup

Queensland joined the newly-established WNCL in 1996–97.[4] They have not won the title, but finished as runners-up in 2000–01, 2005–06, 2012–13, 2016–17 and 2018–19.[5][6][7][8][9] They have won one Australian Women's Twenty20 Cup, in 2013–14.[10]

Grounds

Queensland have used a number of grounds over the years. Their first recorded home match against New South Wales in 1933 was played at the Exhibition Ground, Brisbane. Historically they have played the vast majority of their home matches at various grounds in Brisbane including intermittent matches at the Gabba, the last of which came in 2016. They have also played occasional matches in Toowoomba and Beenleigh.[11][12][13][14][15][16]

Since 2017, Queensland have played most of their home matches at Allan Border Field, Brisbane as well as occasional matches at Fehlberg Park in Brisbane and Kerrydale Oval in Robina. They are scheduled to play one 2020–21 WNCL home game at Allan Border Field.[13]
