Venues & Match Days
AAll eight premier cricket grounds in England and Wales will host fixtures: Lord’s, The Oval, Old Trafford, Edgbaston, Headingley, Trent Bridge, Sophia Gardens (Cardiff), and The Rose Bowl

Why This Season Stands Out
- City-based franchise rivalries bring local flair and spirited competition.
- Iconic venues across two nations offer varied pitch conditions—from Lord’s classic bounce to Cardiff’s responsive tracks.
- Double-headers ensure fans get both women’s and men’s matches on the same day—great value and carnival-like atmospheres.
- Balance of youth and experience, with rising stars supported by internationals and tournament veterans, makes team dynamics compelling.

The 2025 Hundred Women’s tournament promises a rich blend of strategy, star power, and drama. With fixtures evenly spread from 5–28 August, followed by the Eliminator and Final in London, fans are in for a full month of intense, fast‑paced cricket. The combination of elite squads, top venues, and high-octane matchups ensures this edition will be one of the most watched and competitive yet.
