The West Midlands Women's cricket team was the women's representative cricket team for the West Midlands. They competed in the Women's Area Championship from 1980 to 1996 and in the Women's County Championship from 1997 to 1999, after which they were replaced by Staffordshire. They won the Area Championship in 1982, and competed in Division One of the County Championship in their final season of existence.

History

West Midlands Women played their first recorded match in 1963, which they lost to a touring Australia side by 10 wickets. West Midlands played Australia again in 1976, as well as playing New Zealand in 1984, and against various county sides. West Midlands joined the Women's Area Championship in 1980, and won the competition in 1982, beating East Anglia in the final by 5 wickets, with captain Rachael Heyhoe Flint scoring 80*. West Midlands went on to finish 4th in the 1992 tournament and as runners-up in the final tournament, in 1996. They then joined the Women's County Championship for its inaugural season, and were again runners-up in 1997. In their final season of existence, 1999, they were relegated from Division 1 and subsequently replaced by Staffordshire, who immediately regained their former team's place in Division 1, in 2000.
