  • 2028 The ICC Women's T20 World Cup is a biennial world cup for the sport of cricket in the T20I format. It is organised by the International Cricket Council. The first edition was held in England in 2009. For the first 3 editions, there were eight participating nations, but the number was raised to ten from the 2014 edition. The number of teams are set to increase to twelve during the 2026 edition.

At each tournament, a set number of teams qualify automatically, with the remaining teams determined by the Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier. As of 2024, a total of nine editions have been held and twelve teams have participated, Australia, having won the tournament six times (2010, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2020, 2023) are the most successful team, while England (2009), West Indies (2016) and New Zealand (2024) have one title each.

New Zealand are the current champions having won the 2024 edition for the first time, after defeating South Africa in the final.

Qualifications

Qualification is determined by the ICC Women's Twenty20 International rankings and a qualification event, the Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier. Until 2014, the top six teams of the ICC Women's Twenty20 International rankings would automatically qualify and the remaining two places determined by a qualification process. In the 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. From 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.
