After the ending of the Women's Cricket Super League in 2019, the ECB announced the beginning of a new "women's elite domestic structure". Eight teams were included in this new structure, with South East Stars being one of the new teams, replacing Surrey Stars and representing London and South East England.[2] Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, only the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy was able to take place.[3] South East Stars were captained by Tash Farrant and coached by Jonathan Batty.[4][5] They played two of their home matches at the County Ground, Beckenham and one at The Oval.[6]
