About

The Kwibuka Women's Twenty20 Tournament is an invitational cricket competition organized by the Rwanda Cricket Association in Kigali. Founded in 2014, the event is held annually to commemorate the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. The name "Kwibuka" means "to remember" in Kinyarwanda. It serves as a platform for peace-building and social cohesion, often including visits to genocide memorial sites for participants.

Unlike a tiered league, this tournament does not have a promotion or relegation system. Participation is by invitation, typically involving four to five national teams from across Africa. Matches played since 2019 hold official Twenty20 International (T20I) status granted by the International Cricket Council. The format generally consists of a round-robin group stage followed by knockout matches, including semi-finals, a third-place play-off, and a final.

Kenya holds the record for the most titles with four wins. Other winners include Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda. The 2026 edition was won by Zimbabwe XI. The tournament is notable for hosting historic cricket records, particularly in 2019, when Uganda set the highest team total in Women's T20I history. Prosscovia Alako scored the first century in WT20I history during the same year.

The event is distinct for its unique memorial purpose and its role in developing women's cricket in East and Central Africa.
