# 2023 ACC Women's T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup

The 2023 ACC Women's T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup was the inaugural edition of the ACC Women's T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup played in Hong Kong in June 2023, with all the matches held at the Mission Road Ground in Kowloon. Eight teams took part in the tournament, including the A teams of four nations with ODI status and the next four top associate teams. The tournament was organized by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).
7 of the scheduled 12 matches in the first round of the tournament were rained out. Only two teams – Malaysia and United Arab Emirates – were able to play more than one match, and the match between those two teams was also reduced to 5 overs.
