Women's T20 Pacific Cup (New Zealand) 2023/24

The Women's T20I Pacific Cup is a regional Twenty20 International cricket tournament for national teams in the Pacific region. It began in 2022, with the first edition taking place in Port Vila, Vanuatu. The event was created as a regional initiative by Pacific Island cricket associations, offering competitive matches after international qualifiers were cancelled during the pandemic.

Six teams participate in the current series. They are the national sides from Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Samoa, Fiji, and the Cook Islands, alongside the New Zealand Māori team. Matches involving the five ICC Associate member nations carry official T20I status and award ranking points. The fixture against New Zealand Māori is classified as a friendly exhibition. The competition structure combines a league stage with knockout playoffs. The 2024 edition, known as the South Seas Pacific Cup, employed a single round-robin format where the top two teams advanced to a final.

Papua New Guinea Women hold the record for success in the tournament. They won the inaugural 2022 edition, the 2024 South Seas Pacific Cup, and the 2025 PacificAus Sports Cricket Invitational. That latter event was held in Port Moresby and featured a match against Australian Indigenous Women.

The tournament operates independently of the Pacific Games, which is a multi-sport event where cricket is not always included. It also differs from the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier, which is a global pathway for ICC-recognized teams. The competition focuses on regional development and capability building for Pacific nations rather than direct qualification for the World Cup. Information about the tournament is published on New Zealand Cricket news pages and third-party databases.
