The 2002 Super Fours was the inaugural cricket Super Fours tournament. It took place in May and June and saw 4 teams compete in a 50 over league. The tournament was conceived as a way of bridging the gap between women's county cricket and international cricket, and preparing players for the upcoming England internationals.[1] Braves were the first winners of the competition, winning four out of six games.

Competition format

Teams played each other twice in a round-robin format, with the winners of the group winning the tournament. Matches were played using a one day format with 50 overs per side.

The group worked on a points system with positions within the divisions being based on the total points. 12 points were awarded for a win.[2]
