It featured eight teams playing in two double round-robin groups, followed by a Finals Day. The tournament ran alongside the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. The tournament was named after former England captain Charlotte Edwards.^[1] The tournament was won by Southern Vipers, beating Central Sparks in the final.^[2]

Teams played in two groups, based on finishing positions in the 2021 edition of the tournament. Teams played each team in their group twice, home and away, with the two group winners and the best second-place team advancing to Finals Day, played at the County Ground, Northampton. The best group winner advanced straight to the final, whilst the other two teams played off in a semi-final.^[3]
