Last 5 winners of Women's T20 World Cup, New Zealand enter as defending champions
Australia are the most successful team in the Women's T20 World Cup history, having won six titles in all. They have won three of the last five titles, with the other two going to New Zealand and the West Indies' way.
2024: New Zealand became the T20 World Cup winners for the first time after defeating South Africa in the final. The heartbreak of 2010, that stop from Ellyse Perry, was overturned into immense joy as the famous trio of Sophie Devine, Suzie Bates and Lea Tahuhu got their hands on a trophy. The Kiwis are looking to defend their title now as they face a tough challenge from England and the West Indies in their group for the 2026 showpiece.

2023: Australia were the champions for the third straight time in 2023. They defeated first-time finalists South Africa in the final after their dream run to the title clash. The Aussies had won the final by 19 runs. They had defeated the Indian women in their semifinal by five runs after that ill-bat of Harmanpreet Kaur, which stuck to the ground and the India captain was run out.

2016: West Indies women won their maiden senior ICC title after lifting the T20 World Cup 2016. That was a sensational year for West Indies as a whole, as their U19 team won the U19 World Cup and the senior men's team won the T20 World Cup. The Windies women's side defeated Australia in a rain-affected final that was decided on the reserve day. The Windies chased down 149 in the final over.
