The Women's London Cup (previously the Pemberton Greenish Cup) is an English cricket competition played as a one-off Twenty20 match between Middlesex and Surrey each year since 2015. It was conceived by Surrey's Director of Women's Cricket Ebony Rainford-Brent. Middlesex won the first five editions, before Surrey won at the sixth time of asking in 2020.[1] Middlesex won back the title in 2021, before Surrey claimed their second title in 2022, winning by nine wickets at The Oval.[2][3] The 2023 edition was abandoned due to rain.[4] Surrey again won the title in 2024.[5]
