The Hundred Trent Rockets are a franchise 100-ball cricket side based in the city of Nottingham.

The team represents the historic counties of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire in the newly founded The Hundred competition,[1] which took place for the first time in the 2021 English and Welsh cricket season.

The announcement of the new eight-team men's and women's tournament series in 2019 was not without controversy, with the likes of Virat Kohli criticising the England and Wales Cricket Board for pursuing a shift away from Test cricket,[2] while others argued the format should have followed the established and successful Twenty20 format.

In February 2021 the side announced that former Zimbabwe cricketer Andy Flower would be the men's team's first coach, while former Yorkshire women's player Salliann Briggs was appointed coach of the Women's team.

The women's side had been due to play at the home of Derbyshire County Cricket Club, the County Ground in Derby, and the home of Leicestershire, Grace Road but both teams were brought together at the same ground as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
