# 2023 Women's Twenty20 East Asia Cup

The 2023 Women's East Asia Cup was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that took place in Hangzhou, China, in May 2023. This was the fifth edition of the women's East Asia Cup, and saw China, Hong Kong and Japan play in a double round-robin, with the top two sides advancing to the final. South Korea were unable to compete for the second edition in a row, after they and China had also missed the 2022 tournament. The newly developed Zhejiang University of Technology Cricket Field hosted international cricket for the first time, with this tournament also acting as a test event ahead of the 2022 Asian Games, for which the venue was developed. Hong Kong were the defending champions, having defeated Japan 4–0 in a bilateral series in 2022.
Japan were eliminated after the round-robin stage, with several injuries affecting the team. Hong Kong retained the title by winning a super over following a tied game against China in the final. Alison Siu took five wickets for eight runs in the final Hong Kong and was named player of the match.
