The **Zimbabwe Cricket Women's 1-Day Cup** stands as the premier domestic fifty-over cricket competition for women in Zimbabwe. Governed by Zimbabwe Cricket, the tournament sits at the top tier of the national women's domestic structure. It operates independently from the Zimbabwe Cricket Women's T20 Cup and the men's Pro50 Championship, serving as the primary selection pathway for the Zimbabwe women's national team in the 50-over format.
The competition was established in 2020, initially branded as the 'Fifty50 Challenge'. This launch marked the first structured domestic 50-over competition for women in the country following the conclusion of the 2008–09 Inter-Provincial Tournament. Before adopting its current moniker, the event was also referred to as the Zimbabwe Cricket Women's Provincial One-Day Competition.
Four provincial franchises contest the title: Mashonaland Eagles Women, Mountaineers Women, Midlands Rhinos Women, and Matabeleland Tuskers Women. These teams are fixed entities, meaning there is no promotion or relegation system within the league. The standard format involves a double round-robin league stage. While historical editions such as 2020–21 and 2021–22 featured a final between the top two sides, recent seasons including 2022–23 and 2024 have frequently been decided solely by the league table, with Net Run Rate acting as a tiebreaker.
Mashonaland Eagles Women hold the record for the most titles, having secured three championships in 2021–22, 2022–23, and 2024. Mountaineers Women claimed the inaugural 2020–21 title. Midlands Rhinos Women have consistently reached the top positions, serving as runners-up on multiple occasions without lifting the trophy. The competition provides a critical platform for developing talent within the country's cricketing infrastructure.
