League and season history
Manchester Super Giants Women and Men compete separately in The Hundred, with distinct standings, match records and player statistics. They share the franchise name, owners, home venue and cricket leadership. The 2026 Super Giants identity succeeds Manchester Originals, so the page preserves that earlier five-season record instead of treating the club as having no history.
