The ICC Women's T20 World Cup is the premier women's international Twenty20 cricket championship, organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). First held in England in 2009, it has grown into the flagship event of women's cricket — a showcase of explosive batting, precision bowling, and the explosive talent that women's cricket has in abundance.

The tournament is contested by the top women's national teams, producing intense round-robin group stages followed by knockout semi-finals and a grand final. The fast-paced T20 format means any team can win on the day, leading to some of the most memorable upsets and nail-biting finishes in women's cricket history.

Australia have been the dominant force, winning the tournament a record six times including an emotional final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 2020 — where over 86,000 spectators watched Meg Lanning's side clinch the title in front of a record women's cricket crowd. England, West Indies, and India have also tasted success, while Bangladesh and New Zealand have produced historic upsets along the way.

The tournament has been a powerful platform for growing women's cricket globally, raising professional standards, inspiring the next generation of players, and driving record viewership across the world.
