The 2024 Women's T20I Pacific Cup (known as the South Seas Pacific Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the second edition of the Women's T20I Pacific Cup, a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament. It took place in Auckland, New Zealand, from 17 to 21 January 2024. The participants were the women's national sides of Cook Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, and Vanuatu, as well as a New Zealand Māori team.
The Cook Islands and New Zealand Māori competed in the women's Pacific Cup for the first time, with it being the first tournament for the Māori women's team and the first time that a senior Māori side had competed in an international event since the men's team at the 2001 Pacific Cup. All matches were played at Lloyd Elsmore Park (the final was originally to be played on the outer oval at Eden Park).
Papua New Guinea were the defending champions, having won the previous edition of the tournament, which was played in Vanuatu in October 2022.
The Cook Islands played warm-up matches against Auckland University Cricket Club and Kumeu Cricket Club. The Papua New Guinea squad held a pre-tournament training camp in Napier.
The tournament was broadcast live on TVNZ, New Zealand Cricket's YouTube channel and Sky Pacific. Papua New Guinea retained the trophy after defeating the New Zealand Māori in the final. Vanuatu defeated Samoa in the third place play-off, and their all-rounder Rachel Andrew was named as player of the tournament. Cook Islands won the fifth place play-off against Fiji.
