Women’s T20 Pacific Cup 2024 is all set to start on Wednesday, January 17. The tournament will be played in Auckland, New Zealand, in its entirety. Eden Park, Lloyd Elsmore Park 1, Lloyd Elsmore Park 2, and Lloyd Elsmore Park 3 in Auckland will host the games.
Cook Islands Women, Fiji Women, Papua New Guinea Women, Samoa Women, Vanuatu Women, and New Zealand Maori Women are the six participating teams. This will be the debut tournament for the Cook Islands and NZ Maori.
Papua New Guinea Women will enter this campaign as defending champions, having won the last edition in Vanuatu in October 2022. This will be the first time a senior Maori side competes in an international tournament since the men’s team played in the 2001 Pacifica Cup.
Each team will play the other side once in a single round-robin format with the top two teams at the end of the league phase qualifying for the final, which will be played on Sunday, January 21. The fifth-place and third-place playoffs are scheduled to be played on the same day.
The Cook Islands Women participated in the warm-up games against Auckland University Cricket Club and Kumeu Cricket Club just before the start of the campaign. Meanwhile, PNG Women had a pre-tour camp in Napier.
