The Kia Oval will host the first-ever Vitality Blast Women’s Finals Day next season following confirmation of the 2025 domestic finals dates and venues.
Women’s Finals Day will be on Sunday 27 July 2025 at the Home of T20 Cricket and if you’re interested in securing your place for the inaugural competition please click here.
Women’s Finals Day will see the top three sides from the group stage progress, with the first-placed finisher going straight into the final and the second and third placed teams playing an eliminator in the first game of the day.
Surrey will be one of eight teams competing in the newly aligned women’s competition that will see the new, fully professional Tier One teams compete home and away for the right to make it to Finals Day.
Surrey have been the most active team so far, signing up 13 players including Bryony Smith, who will lead the side.
Steve Elworthy, Chief Executive at Surrey CCC, said “As soon as we knew that there was an opportunity to host the Vitality Blast Women’s Finals Day, we made it clear that we would be honoured to be the inaugural venue. There’s a storied history of women’s cricket at the Kia Oval and we’ve seen outstanding attendances for England women’s fixtures in recent years.
“We will be doing our best to put on a real show and, of course, I hope to see the Surrey side walk out at their home ground on the 27th July.”
Vitality Blast Men’s Finals Day will be hosted by Edgbaston on Saturday 13 September, 2025.
