The ICC Women's T20 World Cup (formerly the ICC Women's World Twenty20) is the biennial international championship for women's Twenty20 International cricket.[3][4] The event is organised by the sport's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), with the first edition having been held in England in 2009. For the first three tournaments, there were eight participants, but this number has been raised to ten from the 2014 edition onwards. In July 2022, the ICC announced that the Bangladesh would host the 2024 tournament and that England would host the 2026 tournament.[5] The number of teams in at the 2026 tournament is also set to increase to twelve.[6]
At each tournament, a set number of teams qualify automatically, with the remaining teams determined by the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier.
As of 2023, a total of eight editions have been held and eleven teams have participated, Australia, having won the tournament a record six times (2010, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2020, 2023) are the most successful team, while England (2009), and West Indies (2016) have one title each. In August 2024, ICC announced that the United Arab Emirates will host the Women's T20 World Cup instead of Bangladesh although the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) continue to host the event. The matches are scheduled to be played at Dubai and Sharjah.[7]
Australia are the current champions having won the 2023 edition for the sixth time, after defeating South Africa in the final.
Qualification
[edit]Qualification is determined by the ICC Women's Twenty20 international rankings and a qualification event, the ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier. Until 2014, six teams were determined by the top six teams of the ICC Women's Twenty20 International rankings at the time of the draw and the remaining two places determined by a qualification process. In 2014 edition, six places were determined by the top eight teams of the ICC Women's T20I rankings, with the host country and three qualifiers joining them in the tournament. 2016 onwards, seven places were determined by the top eight teams of the ICC Women's T20I Team rankings, with the host country and two qualifiers joining them in the tournament.
