The 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier was a cricket tournament that was played as part of the qualification process for the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. It took place in November 2021 in Antigua,[1][2] with the top two teams progressing to one of two global qualifiers.[3] In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full international status to Twenty20 men's matches played between member sides from 1 January 2019 onwards. Therefore, all the matches in the Regional Qualifiers were played as Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).[4]
Originally the tournament was scheduled to take place from 18 to 24 August 2020.[5][6] However, in June 2020, the tournament was postponed until 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] In December 2020, the ICC updated the qualification pathway following the disruption from the pandemic.[8] In May 2021, the tournament was postponed again due to the pandemic,[9][10] after being scheduled to take place from 17 to 23 July 2021 in Toronto, Canada.[11] The ICC confirmed all the fixtures for the Americas Qualifier in October 2021.[12]
The United States became the first team to reach the Global Qualifiers, after they won their first five matches.[13] Canada finished in second position to also secure their place in the Global Qualifiers.[14]
