The Women's Asia Cup officially known as the ACC Women's Asia Cup, is the biennial Women's cricket tournament organised by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). The competition is contested by Asian members' senior women's national cricket teams, determining the continental champion of Asia.[1]

The first Women's Asia Cup was held in 2004 on Colombo and Kandy in the Sri Lanka. The 2020 edition was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic before being cancelled. The ICC has ruled that all the matches played in the Women's Asia Cup has ODI or T20I status. The 2012 Women's Asia Cup was the first event to be played in the T20 format. By 2024, there have been nine Women’s Asia Cup tournaments with India winning the most number of titles (7).[2]
