History
editSaint Lucia joined the West Indies domestic structure in 1988, playing in the Federation Championships. The full results of the season are not recorded.[1] The side's most successful period came between 1994 and 2004, when they won two titles and finished as runners-up six times. In 1994, they lost the final of the knockout section of the tournament to Trinidad and Tobago women's national cricket team before missing out to the same team in the league section in 1996.[2][3] The following season, 1998, brought Saint Lucia's first title as they beat Trinidad and Tobago in the final of the knockout section of the Championships by 1 wicket.[4][5] They finished as runners-up again in 1999 before winning the league section of the tournament in 2002, with 5 wins from 6 matches.[6][7] The side were runners-up in both league and knockout sections of the Championships in 2003, and lost the final of the knockout section in 2004.[8][9]
Saint Lucia continued competing in the Championships until 2014, with less success.[10] They also competed in the first two seasons of the Twenty20 Blaze in 2012 and 2013, finishing 7th in 2012 and bottom of their group in 2013.[11][12] After 2014 Saint Lucia no longer competed in the domestic structure, with North Windward Islands and South Windward Islands competing in 2015 and a unified Windward Islands team, including Saint Lucia, competing from 2016 onwards.[13][14]
