The2021 The Hundred season was the inaugural season ofThe Hundred, a professional franchise100-ball cricket tournament involving eight men's and women's teams located in major cities acrossUnited Kingdom. The tournament was run by theEngland and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and took place for the first time, having been delayed a year due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[1]
The tournament gave equal weight to both men's and women's sides, with almost all the matches taking place as back-to-back double-headers at the same venue on the same day, with one ticket giving access to both the men's and women's games.[2]
One-hundred-ball cricket is a form oflimited overs cricket, played by two teams each playing a singleinnings made up of 100deliveries.[3][4]
The format of the game is:
The eight teams competing in the 2021 season are new franchises, operating separately from the existing county cricket clubs. Each represents a large area of England and Wales, with venues chosen for their locations in major cities.[8][9][10]Andy Flower replacedStephen Fleming as the coach of Trent Rockets (men) andJonathan Batty replacedLydia Greenway as the coach of Oval Invincibles (women) before the start of the season.[11]
Eight city-based teams competed for the men's and women's titles over a month between 21 July and 21 August 2021, ensuring that the competition took place during theschool summer holidays. Aside from the opening two fixtures featuring the Oval Invincibles vs the Manchester Originals, all men's and women's matches were held on the same day at the same grounds.
There were 64 matches in the league stage (32 men's, 32 women's). Each team played four matches at home and four matches away. This included one match against every other side and then a second bonus match against their nearest regional rivals.[12]
Once the league stage was completed the top three teams competed in the knockout stage to decide the ultimate champions. The second and third teams met in a semi-final, which was played at the Oval. The winner of the semi-final then met the team that finished top of the league in the final at Lord's.[13]

Two of the 15 players came from players who performed well in theT20 Blast.[8] At least one England Test player was signed to each of the eight men's teams competing in The Hundred.[14]
On 3 October 2019 the first players to be allocated to teams were announced.[15] They were as follows:

All games were televised bySky Sports, with theBBC also showing 10 men's and 8 women's games free-to-air.[8][19] Sky also showed all of the women's games and some of the men's games in full on its YouTube channel.[20]
