The Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) is the Australian women’s domestic Twenty20 cricket competition.
The WBBL replaced the Australian Women’s Twenty20 Cup, which ran from the 2007–08 season through to the 2014–15 season. The competition features eight city-based franchises, branded identically to the franchises in the men’s Big Bash League.
A number of matches during the competition’s inaugural 2015–16 season were broadcast by Network Ten, a free-to-air network. The naming rights sponsor for the WBBL is Rebel Sport. The current champions of this tournament are the Brisbane Heat.
