The '''2002 Super Fours''' was the inaugural [cricket](/source/cricket) [Super Fours](/source/Super_Fours) tournament. It took place in May and June and saw 4 teams compete in a [50 over](/source/limited_overs_cricket) league. The tournament was conceived as a way of bridging the gap between women's county cricket and international cricket, and preparing players for the upcoming [England](/source/England_national_women's_cricket_team) internationals.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/1989322.stm |title=Super Fours gives women step up |website=BBC Sport |date=16 May 2002 |accessdate=21 January 2021}}</ref> [Braves](/source/Braves_(Super_Fours)) were the first winners of the competition, winning four out of six games.

==Competition format==
Teams played each other twice in a [round-robin](/source/round-robin_tournament) format, with the winners of the group winning the tournament. Matches were played using a [one day](/source/limited_overs_cricket) format with 50 overs per side.

The group worked on a points system with positions within the divisions being based on the '''total points'''. 12 points were awarded for a win.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/Tables/5/Super_Fours_2002.html |title=Super Fours 2002 Table |website=Cricket Archive |accessdate=21 January 2021}}</ref>
