The 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 will be hosted in the West Indies from 9 to 24 November 2018,[1] during the 2018–19 international cricket season.[2] It will be the sixth edition of the ICC Women's World Twenty20, and the second hosted by the West Indies (after the 2010 edition). The tournament was awarded to the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) at the 2013 annual conference of the International Cricket Council (ICC).[3] The tournament's dates were confirmed at an ICC board meeting in January 2015.[4] In February 2017, the ICC confirmed that this would be the first T20 tournament that uses the Umpire Decision Review System, with one review per side.[5]

The qualifier tournament for the competition was held in July 2018 in the Netherlands.[6] Both Bangladesh and Ireland won their respective semi final matches in the qualifier, to advance to the Women's World Twenty20 tournament.[7][8]
