ICC T20 World Cup Australia

The ICC T20 World Cup is cricket's ultimate prize in the fastest growing and most accessible format of the game. T20 is the vehicle to attract new, more diverse and younger audiences to the game. In 2020, Australia hosted the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in February and March, which culminated in 86,174 attending the final at the MCG. Hosts Australia claimed their fifth T20 World Cup crown on what was an historic night on International Women's Day. Due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, the men's event has been postponed until October/November 2022. The Local Organising Committee for this event will be assembled from mid-2021.
