There is also another championship for Twenty20 International cricket, the Women's T20 World Cup. The World Cup is organised by the International Cricket Council.

However, since 2005 World Cups have been hosted at regular four-year intervals. Qualification for the World Cup is through the ICC Women's Championship and the World Cup Qualifier.
