Women's Asia Cup


The Women's Asia Cup is a biennial cricket tournament organised by the Asian Cricket Council. It is contested by the senior national women's cricket teams of Asia to determine the continental champion.
The first Women's Asia Cup was held in 2004 in Colombo and Kandy, Sri Lanka. The 2020 edition was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but was later cancelled. The ICC has ruled that all matches played in the Asia Cup carry either ODI or T20I status. The 2012 edition was the first to be played in the T20 format.
As of 2024, nine Women's Asia Cup tournaments have been held, with India winning the most titles.
