Women's Twenty20

[1] These matches were viewed as a warm-up for the first Women's Twenty20 International (and first T20I for either gender), that took place at Hove on 5 August 2004 between England and New Zealand.

[5] At international level, Twenty20 cricket has been an increasingly prevalent format for women.

[7][8] The most recent edition was held in South Africa in 2023, with Australia winning an unprecedented sixth title.

Some small differences exist between the women's and men's formats: for example, ICC rules state that during non-Powerplay overs in women's matches, 4 fielders are permitted outside the fielding circle, compared to 5 in the men's game.

In January 2018, the ICC granted international status to all matches between associate nations.
