Record total prize fund confirmed for Women's T20 World Cup

The International Cricket Council has announced a 10 per cent increase from 2024 in the total prize fund for the Women's T20 World Cup 2026, which will be held in England and Wales this summer.

This year's winners will win $2.34m (£1.74m) with the runners up taking home $1.17m (£871,024), the same earnings as the last edition, however all participating teams are guaranteed to receive a minimum of $247,500 (£184,245), more than double what was assured to each team in 2024.
