The Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) is the national competition for women's cricket in Australia.
The league competition involves the five member teams playing each other in two limited-over matches, with the side finishing at the top of the table after the preliminary rounds earning the right to host the best-of-three finals series. The winner of the finals series wins the Ruth Preddey Cup.
The first WNCL took place in 1996-97, replacing the Australian Women's Cricket Championships which had taken place in a two week tournament format since 1930-31. The Ruth Preddey Cup was introduced to those championships in 1972-73.
