The ACC Women's Premier Cup is a limited-overs international cricket tournament organized by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). It is contested by the women's national teams of the associate members of ACC. It is part of the qualification pathway for the Women's Asia Cup.
The inaugural tournament was held in February 2024 with Malaysia as the host.[3][4] It was contested by sixteen teams, with Indonesia and Japan entering the tournament as invitees from the East Asia-Pacific region.
In 2023, ACC released the 2023-24 calendar of events, where the beginning of the tournament was revealed. Initially, a women's Challenger Cup was also a part of a two-tier qualification pathway for the Asia Cup.[5] But in January 2024, a new calendar was released with only a 16-team women's Premier Cup.[6]
