Women's Metro Bank One Day Cup Final

The Women's Metro Bank One Day Cup Final comes to the Utilita Bowl on Saturday 19 September, bringing the season to its conclusion. It's the big one for the tournament, the final match that decides who takes the trophy home.

The ground has become the home of the final, having hosted the inaugural edition in 2025, when Hampshire finished as runners-up to Lancashire. This year's match arrives as part of the venue's 25-year celebrations, and there's more going on than just the cricket. Throughout the day, there'll be a family fun zone, giveaways, and recreational cricket showcases, so it works as a full day out even if you're not following every ball.

For those who don't know it, the Utilita Bowl is the home of Hampshire Cricket, and it's more of a resort than just a stadium. Beyond the main ground, which hosts domestic and international cricket alongside concerts and events, it takes in a 171-bedroom Hilton hotel, the 18-hole Boundary Lakes Golf Course, the luxury Forea spa, and BEEFY'S by Sir Ian Botham, a bar and restaurant championing the best of British. It's tucked away in the Hampshire countryside, so there's plenty to do around the site if you're arriving early or staying on after the match.

Things get going from 10:30am on Saturday 19 September at the Utilita Bowl, Botley Road, West End, Southampton, Hampshire, SO30 3XH. Hospitality packages are available from £82 + VAT.
