The 2024 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup was the ninth edition of the Women's Asia Cup, with the matches played as Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. In January 2023, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) announced the pathway structure and calendar for 2023 and 2024, where they confirmed the dates and teams of the tournament.
The tournament was played by eight teams at the end of July 2024. The four full members of the Asian Cricket Council – Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka – qualified automatically. It was originally announced that they would be joined by the finalists from the 2024 ACC Women's Premier Cup (Malaysia and United Arab Emirates); however, in March 2024, the ACC announced that they would be joined by the semi-finalists from the Women's Premier Cup, thus also including Nepal and Thailand. In the final, Sri Lanka defeated India by 8 wickets to win their maiden Asia Cup title.
