The Warriors are a Division 1 cricket team representing the Eastern Cape in South African domestic competitions.

The Warriors were originally established as an entirely professional franchise team following reforms that were carried out to the South African domestic leagues in 2004–05.

Eastern Province and Border both competed in the provincial Currie Cup from the 1890s until the creation of franchise teams in 2004.

Following the 2004-05 domestic reforms, the provincial teams of Eastern Province and Border were merged to form the Warriors franchise.

In its place was a return to the more traditional two-division league format, with a total of fifteen professional teams competing.

During the month of October each year, the side eschews their traditional black and electric green colours in favour of a bold pink playing kit to show their support of Breast Cancer Awareness as well as their fundraising efforts for Reach for Recovery.
