# 2009 ACC Women's Twenty20 Championship

The 2009 ACC Women's Twenty20 Championship was an international women's cricket tournament held in Malaysia from 3 to 9 July 2009. It was the first women's tournament organised by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to feature the Twenty20 format of the sport.
Twelve teams participated in the tournament, including five that were making their international debuts (Bhutan, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar). The teams were divided into two groups, one of which was topped by Thailand and the other by Hong Kong. Both of those teams eventually progressed to the final at Kinrara Academy Oval, where Hong Kong defeated Thailand by four runs to record their first ACC women's title. The losing semi-finalists, Nepal and China, played off for third place, with Nepal winning by 73 runs.
