# 2022–23 Men's T20 World Cup East Asia-Pacific Qualifier

The 2022–23 ICC Men's T20 World Cup East Asia-Pacific Qualifier was a cricket tournament that formed part of the qualification process for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. The first stage of the qualification pathway in the East Asia-Pacific (EAP) region consisted of two sub-regional qualifiers: Qualifier A in Vanuatu in September 2022, and Qualifier B in Japan in October 2022.
The Cook Islands and Fiji both played their first official men's T20I matches during Qualifier A. Vanuatu finished top of Qualifier A with five wins out of six matches, and advanced to the regional final. Cook Islands captain Ma'ara Ave was named the player of the tournament, after top-scoring, with 290 runs at an average of 72.50. Japan progressed from Qualifier B after finishing above Indonesia on net run rate. Japan's Lachlan Yamamoto-Lake was named the player of the tournament.
The winner of each of the sub-regional qualifiers progressed to the EAP regional final, played in 2023, where they were joined by Philippines and Papua New Guinea. The winner of the Regional Final, Papua New Guinea, qualified for the 2024 T20 World Cup jointly held in the West Indies and the United States.
