The Women’s Japan Premier League is back for 2025, with even more cricket this year!

With the growing numbers of female cricketers in Japan, we have increased the tournament to three teams who will face off in a double round robin of T20 matches across six days (May 27th – June 1st). 

The teams will have a different look this year with each having its own international feel. 

• Mamushi: The Japanese Vipers filled with the top local talent and a sprinkling of stars from overseas. 
• Titans: Featuring four professionals and two staff from the South African franchise.
• Pacific Rays: Three players from down under will lead the way for this shiny new team, including one from our partners Cricket Without Borders. 

All our matches will be live-streamed on the Japan Cricket Association YouTube channel.

Come on down to the Sano International Cricket Ground (SICG) to watch the best of the best face off with each other to see who will be the champions for 2025. 

If you’re a fan from previous years then welcome back and we hope you enjoy the new model. If you’re new, welcome to the JCA family and check out the highlights from 2024 as well as the full squads and match schedule below.
