The Women's Twenty20 Cup, known for sponsorship reasons as the Vitality Women's County T20, is a women's Twenty20 cricket competition organised by the England and Wales Cricket Board. Until the end of the 2019 season, teams were organised in tiered divisions, with a national winner; since, teams have been organised into regional groups.[1]

The competition began in 2009 and now features 35 teams, drawn mainly from the historic counties of England, plus Wales and Scotland. Until 2019, the competition operated alongside the Women's County Championship, but after a restructuring in women's domestic cricket in 2020, between 2021 and 2023 it was the only official tournament featuring county sides, with regional teams competing in new 50-over, Twenty20 and The Hundred competitions.[2]
As teams competed in regional groups in 2023, with no national finals, there was no overall winner. The last national champions are Warwickshire, who won the 2019 competition. The most successful side in the history of the competition is Kent, with 3 wins.[3]
