History

The side first competed in the South African domestic system in 1951–52, playing in the Simon Trophy as Griqualand West.[2] They competed in that tournament for two seasons, before not playing until they joined the Caltrate Inter-Provincial Tournament in 1997–98.[3] They have competed in the tournament ever since, but have never made it to the knockout stages.[1] In 2015, the side was renamed Northern Cape, bringing the name into line with the name of the province.[4]

They have also competed in the CSA Women's Provincial T20 Competition since its inception in 2012–13, but have again never qualified for the knockout stages.[1]
