The ICC Women's World Twenty20 is the biannual international championship for women's Twenty20 International cricket. The event is organised by the sport's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), with the first edition being held in England in 2009. For the first three tournaments, there were eight participants, but this number has been raised to ten from the 2014 edition onwards. At each tournament, a set number of teams qualify automatically, with the remaining teams determined by the World Twenty20 Qualifier. Australia are the most successful team at the World Twenty20, having won three tournaments, while the most recent tournament in 2016 was won by the West Indies.

Qualification
Qualification is determined by the ICC Women's Twenty20 international rankings and a qualification event, the Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier. Until 2014, six teams were determined by the top six teams of the ICC Women's Twenty20 International rankings at the time of the draw and the remaining two places determined by a qualification process. For the 2014 tournament, six places are determined by the top eight teams of the ICC Women's T20I rankings, with the host country and three qualifiers joining them in the finals.

2009, 2010 & 2012
During the group stage and Super Eight, points are awarded to the teams as follows:
Results | Points |
---|---|
Win | 2 points |
No result | 1 point |
Loss | 0 points |
In case of a Tie (i.e. both teams score exactly the same number of runs at the end of their respective innings), a Super Over would decide the winner. In case of a Tie again in the Super Over, the match is won by the team that has scored the most 6s in their innings. This is applicable in all stages of the tournament.
Within each group (both group stage & Super Eight stage), teams are ranked against each other based on the following criteria:
- Higher number of points
- If equal, higher number of wins
- If still equal, higher net run rate
- If still equal, lower bowling strike rate
- If still equal, result of head to head meeting.
2014
The ten teams are divided into two groups of five, A and B. Every team in the group plays all the other teams in a round-robin format. The top team in group A will play the runner-up in group B for a place in the final. Likewise, the top team in group B will play the runner-up in group A for the other final berth. Guaranteed qualification for the 2016 tournament for two teams will be determined from a similar "play-off" between the third and fourth placed teams in each group.[3]
2016
The ten teams are divided into two groups of five, A and B. Every team in the group plays all the other teams in a round-robin format. The top team in group A will play the runner-up in group B for a place in the final. Likewise, the top team in group B will play the runner-up in group A for the other final berth.[citation needed]

Note:
- The number in bracket indicates number of wins in tied matches by Super Overs however these are considered half a win regardless of the result. The win percentage excludes no results and counts ties (irrespective of a tiebreaker) as half a win.
- Teams are sorted by best performance, then winning percentage, then (if equal) by alphabetical order
