Cricket has a long history of proud tradition in Yorkshire, but few know that cricket has been played by women for as long as it has by men, notably on village greens in an informal manner long before becoming an organised event.

This changed with the formation of clubs and governing bodies, and the changes in society slowly allowing cricket for women to become what it is today – though even now, changing, evolving, and growing.

Revisit our 2024 exhibition as we explore some of that women’s history in the great county of Yorkshire.

Produced in partnership with The University of Huddersfield.
