The 2010 Women's Twenty20 Cup was the 2nd cricket Women's Twenty20 Cup tournament. It took place in August and September, with 33 teams taking part: 32 county teams and Wales. Berkshire Women won the Twenty20 Cup, beating Kent Women in the final, achieving their first T20 title. The tournament ran alongside the 50-over 2010 Women's County Championship.
Competition format
Teams played matches within a series of regionalised divisions, with the winners of the top divisions progressing to semi-finals and a final. Matches were played using a Twenty20 format.
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 2010 Women's Twenty20 Cup was divided into three regions: Midlands & North, South and South & West. Each region was further divided into divisions: Midlands & North with four, South with three and South & West with two. Teams in each division played each other once, and then the top two played in a Division Final and bottom two in a 3rd-place play-off. Promotion and relegation places were determined by the Division Finals and 3rd-place play-offs. The winners of each Division 1, and the best-performing second-place team, progressed to the semi-finals.
