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 a record 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. In August 2024, ICC announced that the United Arab Emirates will be the venue for the Women's T20 World Cup instead of Bangladesh although the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) continued to officially host the event. The matches were played at Dubai and Sharjah.[7]
New Zealand are the current champions having won the 2024 edition for the first time, after defeating South Africa in the final.
History
Qualification
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.[citation needed] 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.[citation needed]
