The Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, an English women's cricket 50-over domestic competition, is currently underway in the United Kingdom. This is the second edition of the tournament after the inaugural season in 2020. The competition witnesses eight teams playing in a round-robin format with each team taking on the other once and the top teams then qualify for the knockout stage of the competition.
The inaugural season of the tournament was won by Southern Vipers who are also currently leading the points table of the 2021 season with four wins out of five matches. The tournament is named after former England captain Rachael Heyhoe Flint, Baroness Heyhoe-Flint, who passed away in 2017.
The competition commenced in May before a break in June and has now resumed from September 10 onwards. The final of the tournament will be played on September 25.
