One of eight founding WBBL teams, the Brisbane Heat are aligned with the men's team of the same name.[2] On 24 June 2015, Queensland Cricket confirmed Andy Richards would be the Heat's inaugural coach.[3] At the official WBBL launch on 10 July, Holly Ferling was unveiled as the team's first-ever player signing.[4] Delissa Kimmince was appointed as Brisbane's inaugural captain.[5]
The Heat played their first match against the Melbourne Stars on 5 December at the Junction Oval, losing by 20 runs.[6] They won their first match on 12 December at Aquinas College in Perth, defeating the Sydney Sixers by 35 runs.[7]
The Heat have combined with the Sydney Thunder to produce several "thrillers",[8][9][10] including:
The Heat share a "growing rivalry"[19] with the Sydney Sixers. However, ahead of WBBL|05, Sixers wicket-keeper Alyssa Healy claimed "(Brisbane) have made a bit more of it than we have in the last 12 to 18 months, it’s not something we're thinking of too much."[19] Noteworthy matches include:
Despite winning multiple championships in the league's early years, the Heat have relatively struggled against the Melbourne Renegades. Across the competition's first five seasons, the Renegades were the only team to beat the Heat more often than not.[24] Noteworthy matches include:
Noteworthy matches between the Heat and the Adelaide Strikers include:
There have been three captains in the Heat's history, including matches featuring an acting captain.
