ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 — Complete Tournament Guide

The ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 is the tenth edition of women's cricket's premier short-format showpiece, and the biggest yet. Hosted by England and Wales from 12 June to 5 July 2026, the tournament has expanded from ten to a record 12 teams, with matches spread across seven of England's most iconic grounds — Edgbaston, Old Trafford, Headingley, the Hampshire Bowl, Bristol County Ground, The Oval, and a Grand Final at the home of cricket, Lord's.

Unlike the men's 2026 edition, this tournament uses a simpler two-group format. The 12 teams are split into Group 1 and Group 2 of six sides each, playing a single round-robin within their group. The top two teams from each group advance directly to the Semi-Finals — there is no Super 8 stage in this edition. Both semi-finals are scheduled at The Oval, with the winners progressing to the Final at Lord's on 5 July.

On this hub page, you'll find everything you need: the full ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 schedule, match results updated after every game, the live points table for both groups, and dedicated team squad pages for all 12 participating nations.

Defending champions New Zealand, who beat South Africa to lift the 2024 title, head into the tournament in Group 2 alongside hosts England, who have made an emphatic start on home soil. Group 1 is headlined by six-time champions Australia, 2020 finalists India, and two-time runners-up South Africa, while tournament debutants Netherlands and qualifiers Bangladesh, Ireland and Scotland add fresh storylines to the competition.

Whether you're tracking the Women's T20 World Cup 2026 points table, looking for a specific match result, or diving into a team's squad and stats — bookmark this page as your single source of truth throughout the entire tournament.

FINAL
🥇 Champions Final · July 5, 2026 · Lord's Cricket Ground, London

England vs Australia — ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 Final

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England 150/4
vs
🇦🇺 Australia 🏆 153/3

Australia claimed a record-extending seventh Women's T20 World Cup title at a packed Lord's, overpowering hosts England by 7 wickets with 17 balls to spare. Put in to bat, England were strangled by a disciplined Australian bowling attack and never broke free — Nat Sciver-Brunt's gritty 58* off 53 and Freya Kemp's explosive 44* off 28 salvaging a competitive 150/4, but it proved well short on a flat Lord's surface.

Australia's chase was built on one of the great final partnerships. Beth Mooney (64 off 49) and Phoebe Litchfield (48 off 35) shared a century stand of 100 off 67 balls in the powerplay and middle overs, rendering the result a formality long before the final over arrived. Sophie Molineux lifted the trophy as captain — Australia's seventh, maintaining their perfect record of seven finals played, seven finals won.
