Kartini Cup (Indonesia) 2025/26

The Kartini Cup is a women's cricket tournament organized by the Indonesian Cricket Association (Persatuan Cricket Indonesia, PCI). Held annually in Indonesia, typically in Bali, the event commemorates Kartini Day on April 21. It honours Raden Ajeng Kartini, a national heroine and advocate for women's rights. The tournament serves as a key development platform for women's cricket in the country, providing match experience for the national team and domestic provincial teams. It is not part of a formal domestic league pyramid with promotion and relegation; rather, it is a standalone invitational cup or tri-series. The format varies by year. Recent editions have featured T20, T10, and Sixes formats, sometimes including international T20I matches and sometimes featuring only domestic regional teams. The 2025 edition was won by Indonesia Women, who defeated Cook Islands Women in the final. In the previous year, the Bali domestic team claimed the title. The competition is distinct from the ACC Women's T20 Asia Cup and ICC qualifiers, as it is a developmental event rather than a continental championship or World Cup qualifier. The tournament was first held in 2015, according to inferences made from the 2024 edition being the tenth. Specific records for the inaugural winner are unavailable. Teams participating in recent years have included Indonesia Women, Cook Islands Women, and Philippines Women. Earlier iterations saw victories for SKO Flobamorata Kupang in 2023 and Seminyak Barong in 2022. Indonesia Women also won the 2019 edition against Myanmar. The focus remains on fostering growth within the sport locally while occasionally inviting neighbours to compete. This approach allows players to gain valuable international exposure without the pressure of higher-stakes continental tournaments.
