. The tournament saw the teams competing in five knockout games including the final, with each match lasting a maximum of three days. It was the first women's domestic red-ball competition in India since 2018. North Zone were the defending champions. East Zone were crowned as the champions after beating South Zone by one wicket in the final.

Format

Unlike the previous four seasons in which the five participating teams played against each other team once in the round-robin and the table topper was crowned the winner, the 2023-24 season was in a single-elimination format. After a drawing of lots, North Zone and South Zone were immediately placed in the semi-finals. East Zone faced North East Zone and West Zone faced Central Zone in the quarter-finals. In case of a draw, the team with the lead in the first innings would proceed to the next round, as West Zone's first innings lead in the quarter-finals and South Zone's first innings lead in the semi-finals took them to the semi-finals and the final respectively.
