The series took place between 20 and 24 January 2021 and replaced a previously scheduled series between England and Jamaica, which was cancelled due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2] The three matches were played behind closed doors at the David Wallace Arena in Loughborough.[3] The series was won by England, who defeated the All-Stars three games to nil, and in so doing won the Jean Hornsby Cup.[1][4]
