Perspective
Trinidad and Tobago first played in 1973, in the lead-up to the 1973 World Cup, which they competed in. They finished 5th in the group of 7, with two wins and four losses.[2] Their victories came against Jamaica and Young England.[3][4]
Trinidad and Tobago went on to compete in the inaugural Federation Championships in 1975–76, the first season of the West Indian women's domestic system.[5] They finished second in the tournament in its second edition, in 1977, and won their first recorded title in 1989, winning the limited overs section of the Federation Championships.[6][7]
Trinidad and Tobago went on to become the most successful team in the Federation Championships, with 13 recorded titles, and are the only team to have played in every season of the tournament. When the tournament was split into a league stage and knockout stage in the 1990s and 2000s, they have recorded title victories in 1992, 1994, 1996, 2002 and 2004, as well as winning both formats in 2003 and 2005.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
Trinidad and Tobago won the Championships again in 2010, topping their group before beating Barbados in the semi-final and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the final.[15] They claimed their most recent titles in two successive seasons, 2016 and 2016–17, beating Barbados in the final both times.[16][17]
Trinidad and Tobago have also competed in the Twenty20 Blaze since its inception in 2012. They won the third edition of the tournament in 2016, topping their group before beating Jamaica in the final.[18] In the most recent season, 2023, the side finished 5th in the T20 Blaze and were runners-up in the Super50 Cup.[19][20]
