At the premier women's domestic level NZC administers a one day competition (the Action Cricket Cup) and a Twenty20 competition (the Action Cricket Twenty20) in which all six Major Associations compete over the summer.
At the level below, New Zealand Cricket hosts a National Women's Under 21 tournament at its grounds at Lincoln University, Christchurch. The 2011/12 tournament will be held here from 14 - 20 December 2011.
NZC’s philosophy is that this tournament provides a playing outlet for players who are on the 'way up' in the game. It is about developing players below, or just beginning to play, domestic women's cricket. This season sees a change from Women's Development to an Under 21 tournament, with current or former White Ferns now ineligible to play in the tournament.
The 2011/12 tournament consists of four rounds of one-day 50 over matches and three rounds of Twenty20 matches. At the end of the seven rounds the teams will be placed from 1st to 6th according to the points obtained in both formats during the six rounds. The team ranked 1st will be declared the winner.
