The NZC Aspiring Female Umpire Programme commenced during the 2021/22 season to provide development opportunities to female umpires with the aim of bridging the gap between community cricket appointments and domestic cricket appointments.
During this 8-month programme, Aspiring Umpires will be appointed to one-day domestic fixtures as a reserve umpire, have the opportunity to join a female umpiring network as well as attending online workshops and an in-person residential.
New Zealand Cricket are excited to announce ten (10) successful candidates in the 2023-24 intake of the Aspiring Female Umpire Programme (AFUP).
Into its third season, the AFUP will continue to build on the learnings of the previous two seasons, offering opportunities for Aspiring Umpires to connect, learn and grow their skills.
