History
editThe inaugural tournament was scheduled to take place in January 2021, before being moved back to December 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8][9] In January 2021, the Bangladesh Cricket Board confirmed that they would host the tournament,[10] but it was later postponed for a second time and moved to January 2023, with the ICC looking for another host nation.[11][12]
The inaugural tournament eventually took place in January 2023 in South Africa, with sixteen teams competing.[13] India won the competition, defeating England in the final by seven wickets.[7]
Malaysia and Thailand will jointly host the 2025 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup, with Bangladesh and Nepal jointly hosting the 2027 event.[14]
On 18th August 2024 it was announced that Thailand had withdrawn as host which made Malaysia the sole host of 2025 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup.
