For a full-fledged women’s IPL, three teams—IPL Supernovas, IPL Trailblazers and IPL Velocity—have been formed. A total of 14 overseas players will be playing for the three IPL teams.

Although a full-fledged women’s IPL is yet to be held, the BCCI had organized the women’s T20 challenge alongside the men’s IPL.

On May 22, 2018, a single match was played between IPL Trailblazers and IPL Supernovas at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in which the former was the winner.

In 2019, IPL Velocity team was added to the competition.
