History

Chandigarh Women played their first recorded match in 1973, against Punjab. They went on to play in the Senior National Women's Cricket Championship in 1986–87 and the Indira Priyadarshini Champions Trophy in 1993–94, but full results are not recorded.^{[1] [2]}

In 2019, the Union Territory Cricket Association, the governing body of cricket in Chandigarh, received affiliation from the BCCI, allowing Chandigarh to join the Indian women's domestic system.^[3] In the 2019–20 season, they competed in the Senior Women's One Day League and the Senior Women's T20 League. They finished 6th in their group in the T20 League, but won the Plate Competition in the One Day League, winning all 9 of their games to gain promotion to the Elite Competition.^{[4] [5]}
