Template:Infobox cricket tournament main Template:Season sidebar The ICC Women's T20 World Cup (known as the ICC Women's World Twenty20 until 2019) is the biennial international championship for women's Twenty20 International cricket.^[1]^[2] The event is organised by the sport's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), with the first edition having been held in England in 2009. For the first three tournaments, there were eight participants, but this number has been raised to ten from the 2014 edition onwards. In July 2022, the ICC announced that the Bangladesh would host the 2024 tournament and that England would host the 2026 tournament.^[3] The number of teams in at the 2026 tournament is also set to increase to twelve.^[4]

Until 2014, six teams were determined by the top six teams of the ICC Women's Twenty20 International rankings at the time of the draw and the remaining two places determined by a qualification process. In 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. 2016 onwards, seven places were determined by the top eight teams of the ICC Women's T20I rankings, with the host country and two qualifiers joining them in the tournament.
