The 2019–20 Hobart Hurricanes Women's season was the fifth in the team's history. Coached by Salliann Briggs and captained by Corinne Hall, the team finished seventh in WBBL|05. The Hurricanes consequently failed to qualify for the finals for the third consecutive season, however they managed to avoid the wooden spoon for the first time since WBBL|02.

Squad
Each 2019–20 squad featured 15 active players, with an allowance of up to five marquee signings including a maximum of three from overseas. Australian marquees are players who held a national women's team contract at the beginning of the WBBL|05 signing period.[1]
Notable personnel changes included:
- All-rounder Nicola Carey, from the Sydney Thunder, became the Hurricanes' first Australian marquee player since the retirement of Julie Hunter in 2017[2]
- Leg-spinner Maisy Gibson and fast bowler Belinda Vakarewa also moved from the Thunder to Hobart[3][4]
- Fast bowler Tayla Vlaeminck was recruited from the Melbourne Renegades[5]
- Corinne Hall returned to the Hurricanes captaincy role, taking over from Sasha Moloney[6]
- New overseas marquee signings Fran Wilson (England) and Chloe Tryon (South Africa)[7]
- Hayley Matthews signed as a replacement player for Heather Knight in the event of the Hurricanes qualifying for finals,[8][9] but this billing did not come to fruition[10]
- In an effective straight swap with the Perth Scorchers, wicket-keeper Emily Smith joined the Hurricanes in place of departed keeper-batter Georgia Redmayne[9]
- On 18 November 2019, Smith was banned for the remainder of WBBL|05 after contravening Cricket Australia's anti-corruption policy with a social media post[11]
- Under a special exemption, Tasmanian Tigers member Emma Manix-Geeves was brought into the Hurricanes squad as a replacement[12][13][14][15]
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.[10][16][17]
