The 2024 Women's T20 World Cup was the ninth edition of the Women's T20 World Cup. Originally scheduled to be hosted in Bangladesh from 3 to 20 October 2024, it was later relocated to the United Arab Emirates for the same dates due to political unrest in Bangladesh, although the Bangladesh Cricket Board still held the hosting rights. New Zealand won their first title defeating South Africa by 32 runs in the final at Dubai.
The tournament featured 10 teams, including the hosts, the top six teams from the 2023 edition, next highest-ranked team in the ICC Women's T20I Team Rankings not already qualified, and two other teams determined through the global qualifier. Scotland qualified for the Women's T20 World Cup for the first time.
Australia were the defending champions and were defeated in the semi-finals by South Africa. New Zealand won its maiden title by defeating West Indies in the semi-finals and South Africa in the final.
