The Women's T20I Nordic Cup is a regional cricket tournament established in 2022. It operates as a joint initiative between the Swedish Cricket Federation, the Danish Cricket Federation, and the Norwegian Cricket Federation. The event serves as an ICC-sanctioned regional championship and functions as a qualifier for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifiers, specifically within the "Sub Regional Europe QLF C" bracket.
Matches in this competition carry Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status. This designation ensures that every game counts towards official ICC rankings and differentiates the series from friendly matches. The tournament features national representative teams rather than domestic clubs. While the competition began with Nordic nations, the participant base has expanded beyond its original scope. The 2024 edition hosted in Norway included Finland, while the 2025 edition in Denmark added Germany and Finland to create a five-team field.
The format typically involves a round-robin league played over a short period of three to five days. Teams accumulate points for victories, and the side topping the points table is declared the winner. In certain editions, such as 2025, an eliminator match between lower-placed teams has been introduced, though league standings remain the primary determinant of the champion. There is no promotion or relegation system, as the event operates as an invitational regional cup.
Sweden Women won the inaugural edition in 2022 and retained the title in 2023. Denmark Women claimed victory in 2024. Germany Women became the first non-Nordic team to win the title in 2025 and remain the current holders. The competition provides a crucial competitive pathway for developing cricket nations in Northern Europe that lack regular high-level international fixtures. It focuses exclusively on women's T20I matches in the region, offering vital exposure for players from participating countries.
