The 2023 ACC Women's T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup was the inaugural edition of the ACC Women's T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup played in Hong Kong in June 2023,^[1] with all the matches held at the Mission Road Ground in Kowloon.^[2] Eight teams took part in the tournament, including the A teams of four nations with ODI status and the next four top associate teams.^[3] The tournament was organized by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).^{[4] [5] [6]}

7 of the scheduled 12 matches in the first round of the tournament were rained out. Only two teams – Malaysia and United Arab Emirates – were able to play more than one match, and the match between those two teams was also reduced to 5 overs. One of the semi-finals was also rained out, meaning that Bangladesh A and Pakistan A were the only other teams that had played more than one match going into the final. India A won the tournament after defeating Bangladesh A by 31 runs in the final.^[7]

Participating teams

The following eight teams participated in the tournament. Thailand A withdrew shortly before the tournament began due to visa issues, and were replaced by Nepal.^[8]
