=== Women's Big Bash League ===
At the official [[Women's Big Bash League]] (WBBL) launch on 10 July 2015, Duffin was unveiled as the first-ever player signing for the [[Perth Scorchers (WBBL)|Perth Scorchers]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Cameron Launches Scorchers WBBL|url=https://www.perthscorchers.com.au/news/cameron-coup-launches-scorchers-wbbl-campaign/2015-07-10|website=Perth Scorchers|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020|archive-date=11 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200411160840/https://www.perthscorchers.com.au/news/cameron-coup-launches-scorchers-wbbl-campaign/2015-07-10|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, beginning in November 2015, Duffin stepped away from her domestic cricket commitments which would lead to missing the whole [[2015–16 Women's Big Bash League season|inaugural WBBL season]].<ref name=":0" />

In June 2016, a month after Duffin signalled a return to top-level domestic cricket, the [[Melbourne Stars (WBBL)|Melbourne Stars]] announced they had "won the race for the prized signature of the former Australian batter" by recruiting her for the [[2016–17 Women's Big Bash League season|WBBL|02]] season.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Stars sign Cameron, Lanning for WBBL{{!}}02|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/womens-big-bash-league-melbourne-stars-meg-lanning-jess-cameron-emma-kearney-wbbl02/2016-06-07|website=cricket.com.au|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}</ref>

On 20 January 2017, in a match against the [[Hobart Hurricanes (WBBL)|Hobart Hurricanes]] at [[Bellerive Oval]], Duffin pulled off arguably the most unlikely victory of her career. Facing [[Amy Satterthwaite]] and needing 12 runs from the last two legal deliveries, Duffin hit a [[Boundary (cricket)|six]] off the first ball. Then, she hit a four off what was deemed a [[no-ball]]. With Satterthwaite having to bowl an additional delivery, Duffin worked a single through the [[leg side]] to claim a last-gasp six-wicket win.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of Hobart Hurricanes Women vs Melbourne Stars Women 52nd Match 2017 - Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18042/scorecard/1064713/hobart-hurricanes-women-vs-melbourne-stars-women-52nd-match-womens-big-bash-league-2016-17|website=www.espncricinfo.com|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}</ref>

In September 2019, the Renegades announced Duffin as the team's [[Captain (cricket)|captain]] for [[2019–20 Women's Big Bash League season|WBBL|05]], replacing Amy Satterthwaite who would sit out 2019–20 due to pregnancy.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jess Duffin named WBBL Captain|url=https://www.melbournerenegades.com.au/news/jess-duffin-named-wbbl-captain/2019-09-19|website=Melbourne Renegades|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020|archive-date=9 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200809074954/https://www.melbournerenegades.com.au/news/jess-duffin-named-wbbl-captain/2019-09-19|url-status=dead}}</ref> Coincidentally, Duffin would miss one game during the season, the cause of which was later revealed to be a case of [[morning sickness]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=AFLW: Duffin's tall story|url=https://www.nmfc.com.au/news/558899/aflw-duffin-s-tall-story|website=nmfc.com.au|date=31 January 2020 |language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}</ref> Nevertheless, she had a stellar tournament, scoring 544 runs at an [[Batting average (cricket)|average]] of 68.00 and a [[strike rate]] of 138.77.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Women's Big Bash League, 2019/20 Cricket Team Records & Stats {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/batting/most_runs_career.html?id=13102&type=tournament|website=Cricinfo|access-date=30 May 2020}}</ref> Among her highlights was an [[Not out|unbeaten]] 27-ball innings of 50 runs on 27 November 2019 against the [[Brisbane Heat (WBBL)|Brisbane Heat]], helping the Renegades mow down a target of 184 and set a new league record for the highest successful chase.<ref>{{Cite web|title=WBBL wrap: 'Gades shock Heat in record chase|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/wbbl05-wrap-melbourne-renegades-stars-thunder-heat-report-scores-highlights/2019-11-27|website=cricket.com.au|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of Brisbane Heat Women vs Melbourne Renegades Women 48th Match 2019 - Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18042/scorecard/1188429/brisbane-heat-women-vs-melbourne-renegades-women-48th-match-womens-big-bash-league-2019-20|website=www.espncricinfo.com|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}</ref> Although the Renegades would be eliminated in the semi-finals for the second-straight year, Duffin received individual acclaim by being named captain for the [[2019–20 Women's Big Bash League season#Team of the tournament|Team of the Tournament]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Revealed: WBBL team of the tournament|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/feature/wbbl05-official-team-of-the-tournament-devine-mooney-lanning-perry-schutt-duffin-wyatt-strano/2019-12-03|website=cricket.com.au|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}</ref>

[[File:Jess Duffin North Melbourne AFLW.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Duffin playing for [[North Melbourne Football Club|North Melbourne]] in [[2019 AFL Women's season|2019]]]]
In May 2018, Duffin signed with expansion club {{AFLW|NM}} as a free agent.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Black|first1=Sarah|date=11 May 2018|title=AFLW: Roos, Cats start list builds ahead of '19|work=AFL Media|publisher=Telstra Media|url=http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-05-11/aflw-roos-cats-start-list-builds-ahead-of-debuts|url-status=dead|access-date=11 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180511150349/http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-05-11/aflw-roos-cats-start-list-builds-ahead-of-debuts|archive-date=11 May 2018}}</ref> She played across half-back throughout the [[2019 AFL Women's season|2019 AFLW season]], managing three games of 20-plus disposals and leading the league in marks for the second time.<ref name=":12" /> Despite having the third-best record in the league, North Melbourne controversially failed to qualify for the four-team finals series due to the competition's conference structure.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The AFL has come under heavy fire for its controversial conference system|url=https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/aflw/the-afl-has-come-under-heavy-fire-for-its-controversial-conference-system/news-story/cdf049904b15225b3d92d2f6105b42eb|date=17 March 2019|website=NewsComAu|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}</ref> Duffin was nevertheless recognised for her dominant season, earning selection in the [[2019 AFL Women's All-Australian team|2019 All-Australian team]].<ref name=":13">{{Cite web|title=Five Crows, four Roos headline All Australian team|url=http://womens.afl/news/17673/five-crows-four-roos-headline-all-australian-team|website=AFLW|language=en|access-date=28 May 2020}}</ref>

During the [[2019 AFL Women's draft|2019 sign-and-trade period]], Duffin was comparatively slow to negotiate a new contract.<ref>{{Cite web|title=AFLW Trade and Signing Period wrap: Suns make a splash|url=http://womens.afl/news/17815/aflw-trade-and-signing-period-wrap-suns-make-a-splash|website=AFLW|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}</ref> On 19 April, North Melbourne announced they had re-signed her for two more years.<ref>{{Cite web|title=AFLW: Full list of signings|url=https://www.nmfc.com.au/news/248725/aflw-full-list-of-signings|website=nmfc.com.au|date=18 April 2019 |language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}</ref> However, on 31 December, Duffin announced that she was pregnant with her first child being due in June, and would therefore sit out the [[2020 AFL Women's season|2020 AFLW season]].<ref name=":8" />

Following a 714-day absence, Duffin made her AFLW return in round five of the [[2021 AFL Women's season|2021 season]], registering eleven disposals and five marks in a 22-point defeat of Carlton at [[York Park|UTAS Stadium]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=27 February 2021|title=North score crucial AFLW win over Carlton|url=https://7news.com.au/sport/afl/north-score-crucial-aflw-win-over-carlton-c-2253636|access-date=28 April 2021|website=7NEWS.com.au|language=en}}</ref>

It was revealed she signed on with the club for one more season on 17 June 2021, tying her to the club until the end of 2022 (S6).<ref>{{cite web|title=AFLW: Roos eye the future|url=https://www.nmfc.com.au/news/959490/aflw-roos-eye-the-future|last1=Zanardo|first1=Karla|access-date=19 June 2021|work=North Media|date=17 June 2021}}</ref>

====2022 (S7): Hawthorn ====
For 2022 season 7, Duffin joined {{AFLW|Haw}}. Hawthorn were one of four clubs to join the AFLW that season. After one season with the Hawks, she retired from football.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Duffin calls it a day|url=https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/1238812/duffin-calls-it-a-day|publisher=[[Hawthorn Football Club]]|date=18 October 2022|access-date=16 October 2023}}</ref>
