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.
