The ICC Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup is an international cricket tournament organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC) contested by national women's under-19 teams.[1] [2] The first tournament took place in January 2023 in South Africa,[3] [4] with matches being played in the Twenty20 cricket format.[5] [6] India won the inaugural tournament, defeating England in the final.[7]
The inaugural tournament was scheduled to take place in January 2021, before being moved back to December 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] [9] In January 2021, the Bangladesh Cricket Board confirmed that they would host the tournament,[10] but it was later postponed for a second time and moved to January 2023, with the ICC looking for another host nation.[11] [12]
The inaugural tournament eventually took place in January 2023 in South Africa, with sixteen teams competing.[13] India won the competition, defeating England in the final by seven wickets.[14]
Malaysia and Thailand will jointly host the 2025 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup, with Bangladesh and Nepal jointly hosting the 2027 event.[15]
On 18th August 2024 it was announced that Thailand had withdrawn as host which made Malaysia the sole host of 2025 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup.
