Girls' Cricket was first mentioned in the 1995 edition of The Reptonian with matches played against Tettenhall College, Bromsgrove School and Denstone College.

There was also a six-a-side tournament at Denstone where Repton lost to a Derby Girls' County side in the final.

Erica Sanders (F'2010) played in a 2nd XI boys' match against KES Birmingham in 2014, and Molly Dytham (M'2014) was a regular team member of the Under 14A (2015), Under 15A (2016) and 2nd XI (2017). Scout Butler (F'2015) played for the Under 14A XI (2016) and Under 15A (2017).

The first official U18 Girls' Cricket match was played against Rugby School at Rugby on 6th May 2021 - see full scorecard and photos - Repton winning by 24 runs with Scout Butler as Captain.
