The South Africa women's cricket team toured Australia in January and February 2024 to play one Test, three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2][3]
The Test match was the first ever Test match to be played between the teams.[4] The ODI series formed part of 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.[5] The T20I series formed part of both teams' preparation for the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup tournament.[6]
Going into the tour, South Africa had never beaten Australia in any format of women's international cricket.[7] However, South Africa won the second T20I by 6 wickets,[8] and defeated Australia for the first time in women's internationals.[9]
