List of defunct English women's cricket teams

The top level of women's cricket in England has undergone a number of structural changes. These changes have resulted in a number of teams becoming defunct, often being replaced by multiple teams covering smaller areas.

The teams listed below competed in either the Women's Area Championship (1980–1996) or the Women's County Championship (1997–present).
