The inaugural tournament was scheduled to take place in January 2021, before being moved back to December 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In January 2021, the Bangladesh Cricket Board confirmed that they would host the tournament, but it was later postponed for a second time and moved to January 2023, with the ICC looking for another host nation.
The inaugural tournament eventually took place in January 2023 in South Africa, with sixteen teams competing. India won the competition, defeating England in the final by seven wickets.
It was announced that Malaysia and Thailand would jointly host the 2025 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup, with Bangladesh and Nepal jointly hosting the 2027 event. On 18th August 2024 it was announced that Thailand had withdrawn as host which made Malaysia the sole host of 2025 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup. India won their second title after defeating South Africa by 9 wickets.
