The Manipur women's cricket team is a women's cricket team that represents the Indian state of Manipur. They were formed in 2008, competing in the 2008–09 Indian domestic system, before returning in the 2018–19 season, and have competed in the Women's Senior One Day Trophy and the Senior Women's T20 League ever since.[1]
Manipur Women first played in the 2008–09 season, competing across first-class, one-day and T20 competitions. They finished sixth out of seven in their group in the first-class competition and fifth out of seven in the One Day Trophy, whilst results for the T20 competition are not recorded.[2][3][4]
The team permanently joined the full Indian domestic system ahead of the 2018–19 season, after an expansion of teams in Indian domestic cricket.[5][6] That season, they again competed in the Senior Women's One Day League, finishing 5th out of 9 in the Plate competition, and in the Senior Women's T20 League, finishing bottom of their group.[7][8]
