New South Wales Breakers

New South Wales's first recorded match was against Victoria on 17 March 1891, however, the result is unknown.^[1] Their first match with a known result was also against Victoria, with New South Wales winning a one-day, two innings match by 53 runs on 21 April 1930.^[2]

New South Wales played alongside Queensland and Victoria in the inaugural season of the Australian Women's Cricket Championships in 1930–31.^[3] They continued to play in the Championships until its final season in 1995–96.^[4][5] They won the title 13 times, making them the second most successful team after Victoria.^[6]

New South Wales joined the newly-established WNCL in 1996–97.^[7] They are by far its most successful team, having won 20 titles, their most recent being the 2018–19 competition.^[8] New South Wales also won two Twenty20 Cups in 2012–13 and 2014–15.^[9][10]

New South Wales have used a number of grounds over the years. Their first recorded match against Victoria in 1891 was played at the Sydney Cricket Ground, which they have continued to use intermittently. Historically they have played the vast majority of their home matches at various grounds in Sydney as well as intermittent matches in Newcastle.^{[11][12][13][1]}

Since 2012, New South Wales have played most of their home matches at Blacktown ISP Oval as well as occasional matches at North Sydney Oval and Hurstville Oval. They played their two 2020–21 WNCL home games at North Sydney Oval. In the 2021–22 WNCL, they played three matches at North Sydney Oval and two at Hurstville Oval. In the 2022–23 WNCL, they continued to use North Sydney Oval, as well as playing their first ever WNCL matches at Wade Park, Orange.^[12][13]
