Lord's to host final of 2026 Women's T20 World Cup
Briefly

Organisers announced that Lord's will host the Women's T20 World Cup final on July 5, 2024. The tournament will feature 12 teams across six key venues in England, starting on June 12. This is the second time England is hosting the T20 World Cup. Notably, England's 2017 Women's World Cup victory at Lord's is highlighted as pivotal in promoting women's cricket. Officials emphasize the importance of the event in fostering a new generation of cricket fans and the long-term growth of women’s cricket.
The sell-out Women's Cricket World Cup final at Lord's in 2017 remains a landmark in the rise of the women's game, and I cannot think of a more fitting stage for the final,
It is of course extra special to announce that the final will be taking place at Lord's. It is one of the finest venues in world cricket and every cricketer dreams of being part of occasions like a World Cup final at Lord's.
We want this competition to be part of a long-term movement, and not just a single moment in time. This World Cup will grow a new generation of fans who didn't grow up with women's cricket but will never imagine sport without it.
