[1][2] The competition began in 2024 and currently features eight Women's Big Bash League teams plus the ACT Meteors competing in a round-robin group stage.

The league was aimed to make up for the absence of high-profile matches in Australia every year and to expose talented players from Country.

The new nine-team T20 competition – created to ensure there would be no overall reduction in women's domestic games following the shortening of the WBBL – features teams aligned with the eight Big Bash clubs along with the ACT Meteors.

The tournament will coincide with Australia's 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup campaign in Bangladesh, meaning the majority of CA contracted players will not be available.
