This is not a standing league or tournament, but a series of bilateral cricket matches between the United States Women's national cricket team and the Zimbabwe Women's national cricket team. The encounters are arranged by the respective national governing bodies, USA Cricket and Zimbabwe Cricket, under the auspices of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Both teams compete in the second tier of the ODI structure, known as the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup League 2. This league serves as a pathway to the World Cup Qualifier. Neither side currently holds a place in the top-tier ICC Women's Championship. Zimbabwe is an ICC Full Member, having achieved that status in 1992, while the United States remains an Associate Member, with full membership a long-term objective.
The two sides first met on 10 September 2022 in a T20I match during the Women’s T20I Quadrangular Series in Dubai. Zimbabwe won that contest by five wickets. Their first bilateral series occurred later that year, a five-match One Day International tour of the United States in Zimbabwe during October 2024. Zimbabwe secured the series 3–2. Notable performances included Chetna Pagydyala's historic 136 not out in the fifth ODI, marking the first century by a United States player in women's ODIs.
The teams then reunited in a multi-format series in the United States in April and May 2025. This encounter comprised three T20Is and two ODIs. Zimbabwe won the T20I series 2–1, while the ODI series results were split with one win each noted in early reports.
The structure of these fixtures is determined by specific agreements for each tour rather than a fixed format, promotion, or relegation system. The rivalry is characterized by its rarity and recent development, with no history prior to 2022. These are bilateral fixtures rather than a tournament with group stages or a domestic league structure.
