SEA Games Women's Twenty20 Cricket Competition 2023/24

The SEA Games Women's Twenty20 Cricket Competition is a regional multi-sport event tournament organized by the Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF) in conjunction with the host nation's Olympic Council. It serves as a premier regional showcase for women's cricket in Southeast Asia, acting as a key developmental pathway for ICC rankings. Cricket was introduced at the SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, marking the inaugural edition for both men's and women's cricket.

The format has evolved significantly over time. In the initial edition, the tournament featured a group stage followed by knockout semi-finals and finals. At the 2023 edition held in Cambodia, seven teams participated in a round-robin group stage before semi-finals and a final determined the winner. The competition structure shifted again in 2025, with the host nation introducing a T10 format featuring ten overs per side. This variation highlights how the event adapts to the host nation and year, offering medal glory rather than just league points.

Thailand Women are the most successful team in the competition's history. They secured gold medals in 2017 and 2025, demonstrating consistent dominance in the region. In 2023, Malaysia claimed the gold medal by defeating Thailand in the final. The competitive landscape includes teams from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia, and the Philippines, with Singapore also participating in recent editions. Vietnam withdrew from the 2023 tournament.

Notable records have been set within this context. The Philippines Women scored the lowest team total in Women's T20I history during the 2023 edition. While the event sits below continental challenges like the ACC Women's T20 Challenge, its significance lies in its role within the broader SEA Games framework. The inclusion of cricket since 2017 has provided visibility for women's cricket in the region. The competition distinguishes itself through its association with the biennial SEA Games, where athletes compete for national pride on a multi-sport stage. Each edition brings different participants and formats, ensuring the tournament remains dynamic and relevant to the growing cricket community in Southeast Asia.
