Welcome to the 2024 VCA Women's National Championships

We cant wait to welcome you to Adelaide!

This is the official webpage for the championship. We will load all necessary information for the tournament on this page. The SAVCA Women's Facebook page will also promote any important information leading up to the championships.

This will be the 3rd VCA Women's Championship. The first was held in Barwon, Geelong in 2022, playing in conjunction with the VCA Over 60’s men’s championship. There were 8 teams from 4 states competing. The 2nd championship was held in Wollongong in 2023 and was the first stand-alone Women’s Championship. A very successful championship with 15 teams from 6 states competing across 3 divisions.

We are excited to be hosting this event in South Australia for the first time.

Nominations are in and we are pleased to announce that this year we have a total of 20 teams nominated from 6 states as well as the Northern Territory, that's 5 more than last year! Teams will play across 3 divisions.

The tournament is not just about competitive cricket but also about camaraderie and sportsmanship. It is a platform that showcases the enduring passion and skill of women athletes who continue to excel and inspire beyond the age of 40.

We are looking forward to a fun week of cricket and wish all teams a great championship.

The Spirit of Cricket

The Spirit of Cricket is expected to be observed
Cricket owes much of its appeal and enjoyment to the fact it should be played not only according to the Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game. The major responsibility for ensuring fair play rests with captains, but extends to all players, umpires…Respect is Central to the Spirit of Cricket…” (MCC Laws of Cricket 2017 code).

Culture of the Championship
Whilst the structure of the championship provides for a competitive approach, the organisers believe this should not result in over-competitiveness or over-shadow what they believe is the championship’s main purpose – to provide an opportunity for cricketers of all standards despite their advancing years, to continue to participate in a sport we all love.
