Women's competition

The women's tournament consists of a double round-robin, with the top two teams qualifying for the final.

The competition previously had no sponsor and was known as New Zealand Women's Twenty20 Competition from its launch in 2007 to 2018.

The 2017-18 season and the inaugural competition in 2007-08 were played entirely over round robin, with no final.[2]

From the 2018-19 season, the competition was combined with the already established men's Burger King Super Smash.
