# 2013 Women's Twenty20 Cup

The 2013 Women's Twenty20 Cup was the 5th cricket Women's Twenty20 Cup tournament. It took place between July and September, with 33 teams taking part: 31 county teams plus Wales and the Netherlands. Kent Women won the Twenty20 Cup, beating Sussex Women in the final, achieving their second title. The tournament ran alongside the 50-over 2013 Women's County Championship.

## Competition format

The divisions worked on a points system with positions within the divisions being based on the total points. Points were awarded as follows:
Win: 4 points. Tie: 2 points. Loss: 0 points. Abandoned/Cancelled: 1 point.

## Teams

The 2013 Women's Twenty20 Cup was divided into three regions: Midlands & North, South and South & West. Each region was further divided into divisions: Midlands & North with four, South with three and South & West with two. Teams in each division played each other once, and then the top two played in a Division Final and bottom two in a 3rd-place play-off.
