Trent Rockets

While early reports described the Hundred as "city-based", by March 2019 it was being reported that the Trent Bridge-based franchise would feature the locator "Trent", and this was confirmed in May when the England and Wales Cricket Board applied to trademark the name. Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire had no centrally contracted players, so the Rockets signed Yorkshire's Joe Root as their England red-ball player, and Nottinghamshire's Harry Gurney and Alex Hales as "Local Icons". In February 2021 the side announced that former Zimbabwe cricketer Andy Flower would be the men's team's first coach, while former Yorkshire women's player Salliann Briggs was appointed coach of the Women's team.

The inaugural Hundred draft took place in October 2019 and saw the Rockets claim Joe Root as their headline men's draftee, and Natalie Sciver as the women's headliner. They are joined by England internationals Alex Hales and Dawid Malan for the men's team, while Katherine Brunt joins Sciver in the women's side. As part of the 2025 Hundred sale, the ECB granted Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club a 51% stake in the franchise, with the remaining 49% sold through an auction process.

Cain & Ares acquired the 49% share, while Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club retained its stake. The sale of the Rockets was completed in October 2025. The Trent Rockets had a notable 2026 season, with both the men's and women's sides topping their respective tables and automatically qualifying for the final.

This guaranteed them the 2026 Hundred Helix trophy, awarded to the Hundred franchise with the best combined performance by their men's and women's sides. The women's side beat the Sunrisers Leeds by eight wickets to win their first ever title. The men's side lost to the Manchester Super Giants in their final by five wickets.
