The 2023 ICC Under-19 Women's Cricket World Cup is an upcoming international limited-overs cricket tournament scheduled to be held in January 2023. It will be the first edition of the Under-19 Women's Cricket World Cup. The decision of holding the tournament was taken during the International Cricket Council (ICC) board meetings in Dubai on 14 October 2019.[1][2][3]

Originally, the tournament was scheduled to take place in January 2021, before being moved back to December 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5] In November 2020, the ICC looked at the possibility of deferring the tournament from its scheduled slot of January 2021 to later in the year.[6] In January 2021, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed that they would host the tournament in December 2021,[7] however the tournament was postponed for a second time, and was moved to January 2023.[8] In January 2022, Geoff Allardice, the CEO of the ICC said that the tournament was "very much on the cards", and that the ICC were starting the process for hosts.[9]
