Women’s Cricket
History
Women’s cricket has been on Cricket Switzerland’s agenda since 2014, marked by the appointment of successive Women’s Development Officers. The creation of Zurich Sapphires in 2016 was a game-changer, attracting players from across eastern Switzerland and achieving success on the field.
From 2016 to 2018, Zurich Sapphires led the charge, even forming a national team that triumphed in Austria. However, 2019 saw a decline in activity due to various challenges, and the COVID-19 pandemic further restricted opportunities.
Since 2021, women’s cricket in Switzerland has been revitalized, thanks to a new Women’s Cricket Committee and Switzerland’s readmission to the ICC. In 2022, teams from Basel, Wettingen, Cossonay, and Bern were in action.
In 2023, the inaugural Cricket Switzerland Women’s League (CSWL) season kicked off with five teams competing in the league. Building on this success, a CSWL Indoor season followed in the winter, and both leagues continued to grow.
In 2024, Cricket Switzerland made history by selecting its first-ever women’s national squad.
Women’s Cricket in Switzerland
Currently, there are five clubs in Switzerland with women’s teams, and this number is steadily growing. For more information, please see the club contacts listed below. Join us and be part of the exciting growth of women’s cricket in Switzerland!
The Cricket Switzerland Women’s League (CSWL) is a national competition dedicated to advancing women’s cricket across the country. Established in 2023, the league brings together passionate and skilled female players from various regions, offering a competitive platform to grow the game and inspire the next generation of cricketers. Building on this momentum, the Cricket Switzerland Women’s T20 Cup will tip off in September 2025, featuring a dynamic 11-a-side tournament in a unique mixed club team format that unites talent from across Swiss clubs.
