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.
