The 2026 ICC Women's T20 World Cup was the tenth edition of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup and was hosted by the England and Wales Cricket Board from 12 June to 5 July 2026. England had previously hosted the inaugural competition in 2009. A total of twelve teams competed in 33 matches across seven venues in England.
The number of participants was increased from ten teams to twelve, which included a host team, top five teams from the previous edition, the two highest-ranked teams in the ICC Women's T20I Team Rankings not already qualified, and four other teams determined through a series of qualifiers. Netherlands qualified for the Women's T20 World Cup for the first time.
New Zealand were the defending champions and were eliminated in the group stage. Australia defeated England by 7 wickets in the final to win their record seventh title. Teams that finished higher from the continents of Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania: South Africa, India, Great Britain (taking the place of England) and Australia respectively qualified for Cricket at the 2028 Summer Olympics.[1]
Background
[edit]The ICC Women's T20 World Cup is a biennial world cup for women's cricket in Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) format, organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It was first played in 2009 in England, and the 2026 tournament marked its tenth edition.[2] The ninth edition, held in 2024 in the United Arab Emirates, was contested by 10 teams, and was won by New Zealand, who defeated South Africa in the final.[3]
Host selection
[edit]In July 2022, as part of the 2024–2027 ICC women's hosts cycle, the ICC announced that the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup would be played in England. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had previously hosted the inaugural competition in 2009.[4][5]
Format
[edit]The 12 qualifying teams are divided into two groups of six teams each. In the group stage, each team will play every other team in its group once in a round-robin format. The top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout stage, which will consist of two semi-finals, with the winners facing off in the final.[6][7][8]
Schedule
[edit]In the 2025–2029 ICC Women's Future Tours Programme, the tournament was scheduled to be held in June–July 2026.[9] The ICC announced the tournament schedule on 24 February 2026, with the tournament scheduled to take place from 12 June to 5 July 2026. The teams will play 33 matches across seven venues in England.[10] On 10 July 2025, the ICC announced that warm-up matches would be played at two venues in England and one in Wales.[11][12] Full list of warm-up fixtures were revealed on 13 May 2026.[13]
Prize money
[edit]The ICC allocated a pool of $8.76 million in prize money for the tournament, a 10% increase from 2024. The winners would be given at least $2.34 million, with each team receiving an additional $31,154 for each match they won, excluding the semi-finals and final.[14][15][8] Unlike the previous editions, instead of positional prizes for teams that failed to advance to the knockout stage, a minimum participation fee is given to all the teams.[16]

The knockout stage consisted of two semi-finals played on 30 June and 2 July, and the final on 5 July.[6] The semi-finals were played at The Oval with the final at Lord's. The group A winner and group B runner-up played in the first semi-final and group B winner and Group A runner-up in the second. If India had qualified, they would have played in the first semi-final.[7]
Both semi-finals and the final had a reserve day available on 1, 3, and 6 July respectively. If a reserve day came into play, the match would not have been restarted but instead resumed from the previous day's play, if there was any; with the play commencing at 14:30 (UTC+01).[7][8] In the event of no minimum play (at least 10 overs per side) on the scheduled day and the reserve day, in the semi-finals, the team that finished higher in the group stage would have progressed to the final, and in the final, the teams would have been declared as joint-winners.[7][8]
