Competition format

Teams in the Inter State Women's Competition were divided into five zonal groups, playing each other once in a round-robin format. The top two in each group progressed to the knockout stages. The top team from each group, and the best second-placed team, progressed straight to the quarter-finals whilst the other four second-placed teams played-off in the pre-quarter finals. Matches were played using a two-day format, with the first innings limited to 90 overs per side. 5 points were awarded for a win, and 3 points awarded for a first innings lead in a drawn match. In the knockout stages, if a match was drawn the side that lead on first innings progressed to the next stage.
