Cricket at the 2028 Summer Olympics – Women's qualification

The cricket event at the 2028 Summer Olympics will be the second time that the sport will be played at the games. It was last played at the 1900 Summer Olympics. The tournament will be played in the Twenty20 (T20) format.

The qualification process for the women's tournament includes two routes, direct qualification via 2026 Women's T20 World Cup and the qualifier, with the qualification window being 30 June to 1 May 2027.

Format Direct qualification The top four teams from each continent (Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) in the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup qualified directly for the tournament. The host nation, the United States, is also eligible for a direct quota place, provided they reach the top 15 in the rankings at any time during the host ranking qualification window, from 30 June to 31 December 2026. If they do not, the highest ranked non-qualified nation will qualify instead.

Global qualifier The next eight highest-ranked teams that have not already qualified directly will participate in the global qualifier to fill the remaining spot, with the qualification for the qualifier being open till 1 May 2027. If the West Indies finish among these eight teams, a regional tournament involving the West Indies nations will be held to determine the region's representative at the global qualifier.
