Surrey have been drawn to play Hampshire, while fellow top-level sides Somerset and Durham will also meet in the new T20 Women’s County Cup, which starts next summer.
The knockout competition, which will be played in May, will feature 37 teams from across the three tiers of the women’s domestic structure.
The eight professional Tier 1 sides for 2025 – Durham, Essex, Hampshire, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Somerset, Surrey and Warwickshire – enter in the third round.
Nottinghamshire will play as The Blaze in the competition and Warwickshire as Bears.
The format of the cup will gives counties in Tier 2 and Tier 3 the chance to pull off an upset, with the draw offering lower-ranked sides a potential route to Finals Day.
The two all Tier 1 ties mean at least two non-top-flight sides will reach the quarter-finals.
Both semi-finals and final will be played at Taunton on Monday, 26 May.
