The tournament featured eight teams, an increase of two from the previous tournament.
For the first time the tournament had parity with the men's and wheelchair tournaments with all participants being paid the same while all 61 matches across three tournaments will be broadcast live.
The competing teams were selected based on criteria including growth and current infrastructure and were announced on 18 July 2019.
