The divisions worked on a points system with positions within the divisions being based on the total points. Points were awarded as follows:
Win: 2 points. Tie: 1 points. Loss: 0 points. Abandoned/Cancelled: 1 point.
Teams The 2011 Women's Twenty20 Cup was divided into three regions: Midlands & North, South and South & West.
