The 2026 ICC Women's T20 World Cup will be the tenth edition of the Women's T20 World Cup, scheduled to be hosted by the England and Wales Cricket Board. England had previously hosted the inaugural competition in 2009. A total of twelve teams will compete in 33 matches across seven venues.

Contents

The number of participants was increased from ten teams to twelve. This will include the host nation, the top five teams from the 2024 edition, the two highest-ranked teams in the ICC Women's T20I Team Rankings not already qualified, and four other teams determined through regional qualifiers. The Netherlands qualified for the women's T20 World Cup for the first time.

New Zealand are the defending champions.

Background

The Women's T20 World Cup is a biennial Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament played by women's national teams and organised by International Cricket Council (ICC). It was first played in 2009 in England, with the 2026 tournament marking its tenth edition. [1] The ninth edition, held in 2024 in the United Arab Emirates, was contested by 10 teams, and was won by New Zealand, who defeated South Africa in the final. [2] [3]

Host selection

In July 2022, as part of the 2024–2027 ICC women's hosts cycle, the ICC announced that the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup would be played in England. [4] [5] The England and Wales Cricket Board had previously hosted the competition in 2009. [6]

Format

This will be the first time that the competition will be held between 12 teams. [7] The qualifying teams are divided into two groups of six teams; all the six teams in a group play once against each of the other teams in their group–for a total of fifteen matches–and the top two teams in each group advance to the knockout stage. [8]

In July 2022, the ICC confirmed the qualification process for the tournament. The hosts, England along with the top five teams from the 2024 edition qualified automatically for the tournament. [9] The remaining automatic qualification spot was taken by the best-ranked team in the ICC Women's T20I Team Rankings which had not already qualified, as of 20 October 2024. The four remaining places were filled via the global qualifier, in which teams advanced from the regional qualifiers. Through the global qualifiers in February 2026, Bangladesh, Irelands, Scotland, and the Netherlands all qualified. [10] [11] The Netherlands qualified for the women's T20 World Cup for the first time. [12]
