Zimbabwe Women's Regional T20 Tournament 2025/26

The Zimbabwe Women's Regional T20 Tournament operates as the premier domestic Twenty20 cricket competition for women within the country. Organized by Zimbabwe Cricket, the event functions as a top-tier fixture, though it frequently runs alongside the franchise-based Zimbabwe Cricket Women's T20 Cup. The competition adopted its current regional configuration in 2022, shifting away from earlier provincial models. While the field has historically expanded to include franchises like Mashonaland Eagles and Mountaineers, recent editions have narrowed significantly. Since 2022, the tournament has been contested exclusively between two regional associations: Northerns Women and Southerns Women. For the 2025 season, this partnership continues under a simplified bilateral series format consisting of three matches. This structure departs from traditional round-robin systems, prioritizing a compact schedule over broader participation. In this condensed timeframe, Southerns Women claimed victory in the 2025 series, having previously secured the title in the 2022 edition. The tournament does not employ promotion or relegation, existing as a standalone single-tier domestic competition. The reliance on regional associations rather than a fully professional franchise model distinguishes the local circuit from neighbouring competitions in South Africa. The contraction to a two-team format has streamlined the calendar, reducing the logistical complexity associated with larger group stages while maintaining a focus on elite regional rivalry.
