History

The Leeward Islands joined the West Indies domestic structure in 2016, playing in the Regional Women's Championship and the Regional Women's Twenty20 Championship. They finished bottom of their group in both competitions.[1][2]

The side have competed in every 50-over and T20 competition since, but have yet to win a match, finishing bottom of the league every season.[3][4]

In 2019, Leeward Islands captain Shawnisha Hector became the first Antiguan female cricketer to play for the West Indies.[5]
