[2] When Cricket South Africa decided to expand the Provincial Three-Day Challenge in 2006, Limpopo were one of five provincial teams (along with Kei, KwaZulu-Natal Inland, Mpumalanga and South Western Districts) elevated to first-class status.
[citation needed] Limpopo played eight first-class matches in the 2006–07 season, losing five and drawing the other three.
[8] In a competition that was itself of borderline first-class status, Cricket South Africa considered Limpopo's performance (and those of Kei and Mpumalanga) too weak to justify their place, and after one season, all three teams were omitted.
[12] They registered their first first-class victory in November 2022 when they beat Mpumalanga in Polokwane by nine wickets; their wicketkeeper Sizwe Masondo scored 157 off 184 balls batting at number eight and took six catches.
[13] Limpopo won the 2023–24 CSA Provincial T20 Cup, beating Northern Cape in the final in April 2024.
