The 2024 Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy is the ongoing fifth edition of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, an English women's cricket 50-over domestic competition, which is taking place between 20 April and 21 September 2024.[1][2] It features eight teams playing in a double round-robin group stage, followed by a knock-out round. It will run alongside the Charlotte Edwards Cup. Southern Vipers are the defending champions.[3]
Format
Teams play each other twice in a group of eight, with the top four qualifying for the knock-out stage. This represents the addition of a semi-finals stage compared to the previous edition, which had one play-off between second and third place. The final will be held at Grace Road, Leicester.[2]
