History

According to old stories found in the national archives that mention of a cricket match in 1478 in Liettres near Saint Omer, so typically British sport was born in France. Olympic Games in Paris in 1900 are the only edition of Olympic games when cricket was played. France were the hosts and lost to England in the final."[6]

Women's Cricket in France

In May 2011, "Coupe de France Féminine" has been established as part of a continuing commitment to the women's game in France. The first ever representative France women's team, les "Dames de France" played against Jersey Ladies (2011, Saumur and 2013, Jersey).[7] Creation of an Indoor Women's National Championship is the newest development, involving four teams over four tournaments in 2013.

Older women too play in some clubs alongside their male counterparts, but efforts are now being specifically directed to involving women of all ages in the sport as part of the high priority being given to the development of women's cricket.[8]
