The 2025 Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL), now in its fourth edition, kicked off on September 6 and will run until September 17, 2025. This year marks a major change in venue, as the tournament is being hosted in Guyana for the first time. Previous editions were played in St. Kitts & Nevis (2022) and Trinidad & Tobago (2023–24).
The tournament features three franchises: the Barbados Royals (defending champions), Trinbago Knight Riders, and the Guyana Amazon Warriors (hosts). The format follows a double round-robin system, where each team plays four league matches, facing every other team twice. The top two teams at the end of the league phase will qualify for the final, scheduled on September 17.
One of the biggest stars in WCPL history, Hayley Matthews, will miss this edition due to shoulder surgery. Matthews currently holds the record for most runs (424) and wickets (23) in the tournament’s history. Her absence leaves a significant gap in the Barbados Royals lineup.
