The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 is set to have more cash rewards for participating teams than any other tournament before it. Prize money announced for this tournament shatters previous financial rewards handed to winners and other teams in the competition’s history.
How Much Will the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 Winners Get in Prize Money?
The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 winners will walk away with ₹195,928,200 ($2,340,000) in prize money. A recent ICC statement confirmed the prize money increase:
“The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be the first ICC event where women will receive the same prize money as their male counterparts, marking a significant milestone in the sport’s history,” the statement read.
ICC officials have had the desire to equate prize money for champions since mid-2023, according to the released statement:
“The decision was taken at the ICC Annual Conference in July 2023, when the ICC Board took the step of reaching its prize money equity target seven years ahead of its schedule of 2030, making cricket the only major team sport to have equal prize money for its men’s and women’s World Cup events.”
How Much Will the Runner-Up and Other Losing Teams Get at the Women’s T20 World Cup?
The runner-up will bag ₹ 0.97 crore ($1.1m) for their participation in this tournament. Other losing teams will also get a decent monetary reward for being a part of the World Cup. See the full list of rewards for each stage below:
