2020–21 Hobart Hurricanes WBBL season
The 2020–21 Hobart Hurricanes Women's season was the sixth in the team's history. Coached by Salliann Briggs and captained by Corinne Hall, the Hurricanes played the entirety of WBBL|06 in a bio-secure Sydney hub due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] They finished the regular season in last place, resulting in the team's third wooden spoon in four years.

Squad
Each 2020–21 squad was made up of 15 active players. Teams could sign up to five 'marquee players', with a maximum of three of those from overseas. Marquees are classed as any overseas player, or a local player who holds a Cricket Australia national contract at the start of the WBBL|06 signing period.[2]
Personnel changes made ahead of the season included:
- New Zealand marquee Rachel Priest signed with the Hurricanes—her third WBBL team, having previously played for the Sydney Thunder and the Melbourne Renegades.[3]
- Erin Fazackerley departed the Hurricanes, signing with the Melbourne Renegades.[4]
- England marquee Heather Knight departed the Hurricanes, signing with the Sydney Thunder.[5]
- Naomi Stalenberg signed with the Hurricanes, departing the Sydney Thunder.[6]
- New Zealand's Hayley Jensen was added to the Hurricanes squad as a marquee replacement player after Tayla Vlaeminck was ruled out of the season through injury. However, Jensen would still only be eligible to play in the place of a fellow overseas marquee player, if or when required.[6][7]
- Erica Kershaw signed with the Hurricanes, departing the Melbourne Renegades.[6]
- Chloe Rafferty signed with the Hurricanes, having played with the Melbourne Stars in WBBL|05 as an injury replacement.[6][8]
The table below lists the Hurricanes players and their key stats (including runs scored, batting strike rate, wickets taken, economy rate, catches and stumpings) for the season.[9][10]
