The 2019–20 Melbourne Stars Women's season was the fifth in the team's history. Coached by David Hemp and captained by Elyse Villani, they finished on the bottom of the WBBL05 ladder. The Stars managed to win just two matches for the season, resulting in their first wooden spoon.
Each 2019–20 squad featured 15 active players, with an allowance of up to five marquee signings including a maximum of three from overseas. Australian marquees are players who held a national women's team contract at the time of signing for their WBBL|05 team.[1]
