The 2023 ICC Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup was the first edition of the Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup, hosted by South Africa in 2023.[1][2] The tournament was moved from its original slot at the end of 2021 to January 2023 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] Sixteen teams competed in the tournament, initially divided into four groups.[5]
