The inaugural tournament was scheduled to take place in January 2021, before being moved back to December 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [9] [10] In January 2021, the Bangladesh Cricket Board confirmed that they would host the tournament, [11] but it was later postponed for a second time and moved to January 2023, with the ICC looking for another host nation. [12] [13]

The inaugural tournament eventually took place in January 2023 in South Africa, with sixteen teams competing. [14] India won the competition, defeating England in the final by seven wickets. [7]

It was announced that Malaysia and Thailand would jointly host the 2025 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup, with Bangladesh and Nepal jointly hosting the 2027 event. [15] On 18th August 2024 it was announced that Thailand had withdrawn as host which made Malaysia the sole host of 2025 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup. India won their second title after defeating South Africa by 9 wickets. [16]
