History

The inaugural Women's Under-19 World Cup was scheduled to take place in January 2021, but was postponed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The tournament was eventually scheduled to take place in 2023, in South Africa. As a Full Member of the ICC, West Indies qualified automatically for the tournament.[4]

The West Indies played their first series in August 2022, against the United States, losing the series 1–4.[5] They announced their squad for the 2023 World Cup on 8 December 2022.[6] The side reached the Super Six stage, in which they finished fifth in their group.[2]
