History

Qualification

Qualification is determined by the ICC Women's Twenty20 International rankings and a qualification event, the Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier. Until 2014, the top six teams of the ICC Women's Twenty20 International rankings would automatically qualify and the remaining two places determined by a qualification process. In the 2014 edition, six places were determined by the top eight teams of the ICC Women's T20I rankings, with the host country and three qualifiers joining them in the tournament. From 2016 onwards, seven places were determined by the top eight teams of the ICC Women's T20I Team rankings, with the host country and two qualifiers joining them in the tournament.
