[3] The event is organised by the sport's governing body, the International Cricket Council, with the first edition having been held in England in 2009. [4] For the first three tournaments, there were eight participants, but this number has been raised to ten from the 2014 edition onwards. In July 2022, the ICC announced that the Bangladesh would host the 2024 tournament and that England would host the 2026 tournament.

As of 2024, a total of nine editions have been held and twelve teams have participated, Australia, having won the tournament a record six times (2010, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2020, 2023) are the most successful team, while England (2009), West Indies (2016) and New Zealand (2024) have one title each. In August 2024, ICC announced that the United Arab Emirates will be the venue for the Women's T20 World Cup instead of Bangladesh although the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) continued to officially host the event. The matches were played at Dubai and Sharjah. [7]
