The 2003 IWCC Trophy was an international women's cricket tournament held in the Netherlands from 21 to 26 July 2003. Organised by the International Women's Cricket Council (IWCC). It was the inaugural edition of what is now the World Cup Qualifier.
The tournament featured six teams and was played using a round-robin format. The top two teams, Ireland and the West Indies, qualified for the 2005 World Cup in South Africa. All matches held One Day International (ODI) status, with Japan making its debut in that format and Scotland playing only its second ODI tournament. Ireland's Barbara McDonald was named the player of the tournament,[1] while the leading runscorer and leading wicket taker, respectively, were Pauline te Beest of the Netherlands and Pakistan's 15-year-old off spinner, Sajjida Shah.[2][3]
