The 2020 Women's Super Series was the sixth Women's Super Series competition that took place in Ireland. The tournament was originally scheduled to take place in May and June with 3 teams taking part, but was delayed and restructured due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament eventually took place in August and September, with two teams taking part (Scorchers and Typhoons, with Dragons leaving the competition) and eight 50 over matches taking place.[1] Typhoons won the tournament, achieving their first Super Series title.[2]
