The '''Inter State Women's Competition''' was a [[women's cricket]] [[First-class cricket|first-class]] domestic competition organised by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]]. The competition took place twice, in 2007–08 and 2008–09, with teams competing in two-day matches across five zonal divisions before a knockout stage. [[Railways women's cricket team|Railways]] were the most successful team in the competition, winning both tournaments.<ref name="seven">{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/6/Inter_State_Womens_Competition_2007-08.html |title=Inter State Women's Competition 2007/08 |publisher=CricketArchive|access-date=12 August 2021}}</ref><ref name="eight">{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/11/Inter_State_Womens_Competition_2008-09.html |title=Inter State Women's Competition 2008/09 |publisher=CricketArchive|access-date=12 August 2021}}</ref>

The tournament ran alongside the [[Senior Women's One Day League]] in 2007–08 and both the One Day League and the [[Senior Women's T20 League]] in 2008–09, before the tournament was discontinued in favour of the other two formats. Women's first-class cricket was revived in India in 2014–15, with the [[Senior Women's Cricket Inter Zonal Three Day Game]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/IND.html |title=Tournaments in India |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=12 August 2021}}</ref>

==Competition format==
Teams in the Inter State Women's Competition were divided into five zonal groups, playing each other once in a [[round-robin tournament|round-robin]] format. The top two in each group progressed to the knockout stages. The top team from each group, and the best second-placed team, progressed straight to the quarter-finals whilst the other four second-placed teams played-off in the pre-quarter finals.<ref name="seven"/><ref name="eight"/>

Matches were played using a [[First-class cricket|two-day]] format, with the first innings limited to 90 overs per side. 5 points were awarded for a win, and 3 points awarded for a first innings lead in a drawn match. In the knockout stages, if a match was drawn the side that lead on first innings progressed to the next stage.<ref name="sevent">{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/Tables/6/Inter_State_Womens_Competition_2007-08.html |title=Inter State Women's Competition 2007/08 Table |publisher=CricketArchive|access-date=12 August 2021}}</ref><ref name="eightt">{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/Tables/11/Inter_State_Womens_Competition_2008-09.html |title=Inter State Women's Competition 2008/09 Table |publisher=CricketArchive|access-date=12 August 2021}}</ref>
