Asian Cricket Council Women's Premier Cup (United States) 2023/24

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Women's Premier Cup is a biennial international tournament played in the Twenty20 International format. Inaugurated in February 2024 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the competition serves as the primary qualification pathway for the ACC Women's T20 Asia Cup. For the 2024 edition, the top four semi-finalists qualified for the continental championship, a structure that continued in the 2026 edition.

The event is distinct from the ACC Women's T20 Asia Cup, which is the continental championship featuring full member nations. The Premier Cup is designed for associate members, including Qatar, Bhutan, Maldives, Thailand, Nepal, and Indonesia. Unlike the older ACC Women's T20 Trophy, which was often a smaller, less structured event, the Premier Cup represents a modernized, larger-scale qualification tournament. There is no promotion or relegation system within the Premier Cup itself, as it is a standalone tournament for eligible associate nations rather than a league pyramid.

The 2024 inaugural edition featured 16 teams divided into four groups of four, with the top two from each group advancing to a knockout stage. The United Arab Emirates won the 2024 title, defeating hosts Malaysia in the final. Thailand won the second edition in 2026, also defeating the UAE in the final. Notable records include UAE's Esha Oza holding the all-time leading run-scorer record across editions.

The tournament provides a competitive platform for emerging cricketing nations in Asia, allowing them to develop talent and gain experience against regional rivals. The focus remains on performance and qualifying for the higher-level Asia Cup, rather than domestic standings. Each edition brings together teams eager to showcase their potential on an international stage. The competition continues to grow in stature, attracting attention from cricket fans across the region. As the tournament progresses, the level of play is expected to rise further. The future editions will likely see more participation and increased prestige for the winners.
